Текст песни Happy Christmas (the whole world has changed) - Richard Edwards

Happy Christmas, your mother looks older
And sadder than I've ever seen her
Those lines when she looks down are new
Or, at least I haven't seen 'em before
Took lye to my eyes
Stuffed rocks in my boots
And was descended upon by a lonely woman
And her unruly children who tried to hide me away

Happy Christmas, the whole world has changed
There's an orange ape in the White House
And your mother looks strange
So tell me what the hell to do
When love don't recede like you want it to
They've plied me with booze
They've sucked on my toes
I've been transported to Rome by enlightened ladies
And I never wanted you more
So happy Christmas,
You fuck

Holy hell...
Goddamnit,
I get lost without you
I get lost without you, jelly
Oh here it comes again
Another weekend without you
Where I'll pace around with a gun in my mouth
Oh here it comes again
I'll go to sleep with my shoes on
That's when it starts to get weird, oh
I have a vision
Some just call 'em dreams
You're a little bit older and you understand these things
Then one day, quite by chance
In a city that resembles Los Angeles
You reach out your hand
You reach out your hand and say, 'hey padre,
Whatcha doin? I've never seen you quite this spry before
Yeah, you appear like smoke
We might share a joke
About the time I had the bad dream
That lasted so long

Happy Christmas, and thank the lord
That we are only brushed by this storm
