lyrics

CHORUS
December rain came
for seventeen days it rained
rain pounding to the ground
December rain came
down
down
down
down

Come and drink some whiskey with me
in my watery tomb
here's my infected heart
smelling like an old war wound
you can meet the ghosts who dance upon my head
I'd never sleep a wink
if I weren't drunk when I went to bed

CHORUS

Ho Ho Ho I say
on an ill-tempered December day
the lightless sky unfurled
upon a monochrome world
where numerous shades of grey
conspired to make the day
as cheerless as the funeral
of a stolen life
as cheerless as the funeral
of a stolen life

CHORUS

Osmosis
hypnosis
December psychosis
let this rain be my excuse
for these deep deep blues
and when life-size robot Santa sings
I feel the need to buy some things
and if the Canadian Tire girl
happens to go berserk
where can you point the finger of blame

CHORUS
