It won’t be Christmas without Santa or the ghost of Santa Anna, or the Texas tan crash landing in the holly. In case you ever got lost in Austin, baby I bet you’d never know how high and mighty, high and mighty, how high and mighty the hollies grow. Thank you Christ for all the angels, and the miracle of candy bars, the lonesome stars, the cool guitars, the King of Kings and Balthazar. It won’t be Christmas without Santa or the ghost of Santa Anna or the Texas tan crash landing in the holly. In case you ever got lost in Austin, baby I bet you’d never know how high and mighty, high and mighty, how high and mighty the hollies grow. Aunt Savanah wants a stratocaster, and cracker jack distortion-- a feedback hack who loves her back, taken way out of proportion. It won’t be Christmas without Santa or the ghost of Santa Anna.
