It's our 22nd year of festive power-pop.

lyrics

_________________________________________

Nobody can explain the shame
And I can't make it go away
If I can't save from myself
How could it be you

Thought I really knew it all
And only someone else could fall
Now I'm not so self-assured
I've lost every clue

It's a flame that won't burn
On a wheel that won't turn
It's a thought I won't let go
Maybe we'll never ever know

How could it be that we've come so far
Only to fall so far behind
All the words I thought were wise
Are just not quite
This is not where I wanted to be
These are not the people I want to see
All the things I thought were right
Are just not quite

You are hoarding currency
I dream only melodies
If I tell you I am spent
what would you do

So tell me, who needs each other more
If we're stuck on each side of door
If I'm the one saving you
How could it be true

I don't want to know
If it hurts me more than it hurts me now
Just let me scream with my head in the sand

I don't need no lubrication
Just to fake the celebrations
Just feed me another spoon of hope

Merry Christmas Baby
Happy New Year darling
Here's to surviving.
