lyrics

Home for the Holidays All of the streets are covered in snow A choir carols outside the window All the wrapping paper is yesterday's news And this white Christmas is turning out to be quite blue Hollywood movie happy endings, well they don't exist within the walls of this home and 34th street is just a street down the road there's no one else underneath the mistletoe because this year, this year I'm alone. All of the streets are covered in snow A choir carols outside the window All the wrapping paper is yesterday's news And this white Christmas is turning out to be quite blue

Christmas Valentine Tonight, Christmas songs are burning in my chest A slow, quiet thing, those holiday bells ring inside my head You asked me why I said I don't mind the tearing wind Can't stand the bright- lights Waiting for a dark kind so let's dig our elbows in Oh, Betty Sue, your lips are red as wine But it's the whiskey on your breath that waltzes me to bed Oh, Betty, you're my Christmas Valentine Oh, Betty, you're the only girl alive who can twist with the garland, turn with the wind, who can shut out all those lights The green and the red, oh, the radiant white line every street. We hid in the bar and then in your car Oh, Betty, your shade is so sweet

Hark, The Angels All us children are fast asleep Dreams above, mice beneath We put our boots outside the door Once again waiting for something more A twinkling of time A turning of keys And Ol' Saint Nick left a bottle just for me The cat told the mice to go We take our drink, we take it slow It's a Christmas of ash This will never last Benny's got his pills We're burning up the bills And Ol' Saint Nick left a bottle just for me Can you hear those bells? Hark the angels sing Hear those bells ringing
