"Xmas Cake"


(It's almost christmas)

When i take off my make-up i look old and defeated
I'm not so dangerous
Cry into my christmas cake
Starin holes into me all night
You should just give up
'Cause our love's become sellin' secrets
To the russians they don't need
The cold war is on between you and me

25 years old and a bachelor's degree
Your parents helped out with graduation fees
The loans were never enough
The credit cards are calling your bluff
Hold your hand, cut them up, move away
Or you'll payin' them off 'till your kids grow up
And do the same

There's no more runnin' water
Wrappin' presents in the dark
Move into your car
Change where you park
Too bad that job carolin' department stores fell through
But the new year is right in front of you

Cry into your christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Don't know what else to do
(fa la la fa la la la la)

I fear i'm goin deaf
I've got some sense left
Give up some more to be with you (oooo)
'Cause what good is seein' if love's not lookin' back at you (aahhh)
And what good is feelin' if my hands aren't touchin' you

And another angel came down
He was wearin' only a cloud
He said sew up the bad that you've done
Tomorrow christmas day comes
(christmas day)

Cry into your christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
Cry into your christmas cake
Don't know what else to do
The new year's right in front of you
(fa la la fa la la la la)
