lyrics

how drunk are the lot of you?
it's always xmas somewhere
& they've never got a present for you
yeah you always lose
there's nothing else that i can do
yeah i know you saw me
but you didn't i wanted you to
it's a clever ruse

it's xmas eve in jamestown
& i hate going out in the cold
i wish you would come down
cuz i'm tired of being alone
but you won't

drinking only brings me down
i'm the saddest bastard in this godforsaken town
with my tattooed frown
you said you wanna play the hits
when we get together all we do is play the same old shit
& i'm tired of it

there ain't no presents under my tree
soon this evergreen will just be kindling
this isn't how the season's supposed to be
maybe i'll go sledding & crash myself into a tree
like ethan frome
cuz i'm alone in this shithole
