It's quiet right now.
The sky's gone dark.
A sink full of dishes
And laundry to start.
A mess in the living room
There's a wine all over the couch
My sisters aren't speaking
Who's crying now?
It's always Christmas around here.
It's always Christmas around here.
Compounded interest,
No sleeping in,
Dad's asking for money--
He's in a bad way again.
Keep pushing down the trash--
To keep from taking it out.
The bread always burns--
Think we'd use a timer by now.
It's always Christmas around here.
It's always Christmas around here.
It's always, always, always, the same.
It's always Christmas around here.
Here at my house,
Lots of questionable tattoos,
Silent fights, holy fights,
David's ass backward views.
We look forward to a new,
A new set of days,
Hoping for change.
Maybe we'll win the lottery someday.
It's always Christmas around here.
It's always Christmas around here.
It's always, always, always, the same.
It's always Christmas around here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
