Tinseltown

(album: Brand New Year - 2000)

Big fake snowflakes hanging from the streetlights
Marshmallow children bundled up so tight
Short fuses, long lines, so much for a silent night
Then, magically we all wake up (Once a year we all wake up)
And find ourselves here in our own

[Chorus]
Tinseltown
Where everything glitters
Tinseltown
All sparkle and shimmer
Look around and see the brightest stars come out
In Tinseltown, in Tinseltown

There King manger scene, glowing on the front lawn
Ladies auxiliary butchering "The Christmas Song"
Quarters in the kettle of the gin-jolly Santa Claus
Then, magically we all wake up (Once a year we all wake up)
And find ourselves here in our own

[Repeat Chorus]

So where's the

Batteries, it's Christmas Eve, assembly is required
Can't get the kids to sleep, sugar's got them wired
Finally around midnight (all is calm, all is bright)
Then, magically we all wake up (Once a year we all wake up)
And find ourselves here in our own

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Tinseltown
Tinseltown, Tinseltown
Tinsel all the way
