Carriage

(album: Felice Navidad - 2015)

Well, you promised to take me to town
In that old carriage hearse you found
Well, I'm lonesome, with nowhere to be
Just this old sleeping dog and me

And the tinsel hangs in the window
Candy canes strung on a tree
Well, it's Christmas, the snow's falling down
On this shit eating country town

Well, it's getting hard to pretend
That the new Great Depression will end
Or I'll save up more than a buck
But I truly don't give a fuck

Hear the brainwashed candidates howling
See their worlds radiant with fear
Well, it's Christmas 2015
In this shit eating corporate dream

Let us toast to Grandpa Felice
And all of the others deceased
To the blizzard flickering the light
And turning their graves to white

See the ghostly reindeer dashing
With their bells in the perilous night
Well, it's Christmas, and the power is down
In this beautiful country town
