about
Well, I don’t do candy pop songs for the Christmas card committee, and I don’t send family pictures to my friends. And I end each year with a vengeance, countin’ my prospects for redemption. A couple of lines of Auld Lang Syne, a bottle of liquor for the bitter end. And then I string out all the lights and fight the elements, the fuss, and the failure, and then I sing along with Bowie, the bells, and the Bing. And then right before the lonely parts I kneel down in my trailer for my love of God, my country, and my king. Well, I walked along Park Avenue, and I waited in the dark for the lights on all the sight lines to send me on to Central Park. This Christmas in the city, put some Christmas in the cards. What I wouldn't give to give up all the sadness in my heart. Well, the angels on the mantlepiece are off staring at all the toys. And the toys all cost a fortune and now the elves are all unemployed. You know, it wasn’t supposed to be this way, but troubles are often attracted to negative reviews, and then the holidays choose, and then the blues become bad habits. Well, I walked along Park Avenue, and I waited in the dark for the lights on all the sight lines to send me on to Central Park. This Christmas in the city, put some Christmas in the cards. What I wouldn't give to give up all the sadness in my heart….
