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

Staring holes into me all night

You should just give up

'Cause our love's become selling 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 paying them off 'til your kids grow up

And do the same



There's no more running water

Wrapping presents in the dark

Move into your car

Change where you park

Too bad that job caroling 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 going deaf

I've got some sense left

Give up some more to be with you

(Ooh...)

'Cause what good is seeing if love's not looking back at you

(Aah...)

And waht good is feeling if my hands aren't touching you



And another angel came down

He was wearing 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)
