Comin' back from the country

For the good food and lousy beer

This winter's so dry and the dirt road so dusty

At the lightest fall of rain, the bacteria bloom.

You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

It's easy to forget

The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

And it's christmas so no one can fix it.

Tethered to a table with that happy holiday crowd

And it's anchors aweigh

Looks like smooth sailin'

But the merest hint of waves could capsize you.

You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

It's easy to forget

The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

And it's christmas so no one can fix it.

The desire for annihilation

Is as common as it is unkind

And it's hard to recognize the situation

When you're desperately tryin' to have a good time.

You don't have to be alone to be lonesome

It's easy to forget

The sadness comes crashin' like a brick through the window

And it's christmas so no one can fix it.

Yeah, it's christmas

So no one can fix it.
