Christmas Wrapping (With Iggy Pop)

Bah Hum but that's too strong Cause it is my favorite holiday But all this years been a busy blur Don't think i have the energy To add to my already mad rush Just cause 'tis the season The perfect gift for me would be Completions and connections left From last year, ski shopping, counter most interesting Had his number but never the time Most of '81 past along those lines So deck those halls and trim those trees Raise up cups of Christmas cheer I just need to catch my breath Christmas by myself this year Calendar picture, frozen landscape Chill this room for twenty four days Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with Flash back, to spring time, sun again why Would have been good to go for lunch Couldn't agree when we were both free We tried, we said we'd keep in touch Didn't of course till summer time Out to the beach to his boat could have joined him No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree Now the calendars just one page Of course I am excited Tonights the night but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it Christmas is over Oh, no you don't Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think I'll miss this one this year Hardly dashing through the snow Cause I bundled up too tight Last minute have to do's A few cards a few calls Cause it's r s v p No thanks, no party lights It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax Turned down all of my invites Last fall I had a night to myself Same guy called, halloween party Waited all night for him to show This time his car wouldn't go, I'm sorry Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late Trudge on home to celebrate In a quiet way, unwind Doing Christmas right this time AandP has provided me with the world's smallest turkey All ready in the oven, nice and hot Oh damn, guess what I forgot So on with the boots back out in the snow To the only all night grocery When what to my wondering eyes should appear In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year I'm spending this one alone he said Need a break this year's been crazy I said me too, but why are you You mean you forgot cranberries too Then suddenly we laughed and laughed Caught on to what was happening That Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending Merry Christmas, honey Merry Christmas baby Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year
