I'm a man who fell in love with a house and a couch A whole lonely kingdom a mouse could carve out The smell of dried wood, lost love-letters left out The space heaters believers got their reaoners down Sit silent and smile and take in this evening Cinnamon dreaming, lazy breathing, the anachronist grieving Well the kitchen's a stone's throw, think the toilet is leaking Pump the place full of gasoline but damn it I ain't leaving Well Christmas said goodbye Christmas never came Christmas showed up in July and now that ba*tard's here to stay And I don't really mind if no gifts come my way As long as you lock the doors and draw the shades And always let me stay I'm a man who fell in love with some stones and a one-legged bird And cat that don't like me stepping on cracks and curbs The spiral staircase is laughing as I just slip like a jerk I'm sorry if I get too tipsy from toasting your worth
You don't ever have to wake me it's all just the same I sleep like a hooker with a bullet in her brain Bury me down in the tomb of blankets and some old sheets If Christmas is here to stay well then you'll never get me to leave And Christmas said goodbye And Christmas never came Christmas showed up in July and now that ba*tard's here to stay And I don't really mind if no gifts come my way As long as you lock the doors and draw the shades And always let me stay Always let me stay Me stay Let me stay All right Everybody now Christmas said goodbye (Goodbye) Christmas never came (Never came) Christmas showed up in July (In July) And now that ba*tard's here to stay (Again) And I don't really mind (Don't mind) If no gifts come my way (No gifts) As long as you lock the doors and draw the shades And always let me stay
