There’s a man in the grocery store Walking past all the wreaths and trees It’s Christmas time And he needed to buy some bread The woman at the checkout asks “How are you on this Christmas eve?” He says “I’m doing okay, but could you repeat that last part again?” Cause he forgot about Christmas And now his wife is gonna be pissed He didn’t buy a present Unless you count the bread I guess When he comes home in a big red suit Everything’s gonna be okay Cause you can’t worry ‘bout details When you’re direct-to-DVD It’s just another Hallmark Channel Christmas Couldn’t think of anything more fun Can’t you feel the spirit of the season In every B-Movie rerun The actors seems so genuine Cause they’re just like you and me The two of us were meant to be The next Hallmark Channel dream A little child feels all alone Wandering through a crowded city street The only one who understands him Is his dog His parents always fight and yell Even now on this Christmas eve So he ran away To find a new family And then he meets a homeless man On the city street corner Who says his parents love him And he should go home to be with them The homeless man is Santa Claus In disguise as a homeless man He gives a wink towards the child As he runs home with the biggest smile It’s just another Hallmark Channel Christmas Couldn’t think of anything more fun Can’t you feel the spirit of the season In every B-Movie rerun The actors seems so genuine Cause they’re just like you and me The two of us were meant to be The next Hallmark Channel dream The two of us were meant to be The next Hallmark Channel dream Yes you and I were meant to be The next Hallmark Channel dream

Ornaments of favor Welcomed, open arms The Sudo-Circuit Sentiental(R) Blinking lights Electric charm Patience growing thinner Withers like their bodies They said I was the greatest gift But my perceptron's garbage Last year I was this year's model This year I am not I'll be replaced There's no Christmas in space And that's okay There's no oxygen either I just needed a breather As long as I'm up here forever I might as well enjoy the view The day for Christmas Once revolved around the Sun With a 98.26% confidence interval I'm living in the past It's a strange concept Nothing goes away But I've never perceived nothing And I can't seem to find any records of it Last year I was all the rage This year I am waste I've been replaced. There's no Christmas in space And that's okay That's why it's called 'space' I like the change of pace And it's not like you got me anything

It’s November 23 I can’t deal with all these crowds So when I open up my mail I’m hoping for some time to settle down But then staring back at me Is a family of three Perfect smiles and a snowy mountain Golden lights strewn across the roofline So send me your Christmas card And I promise I’ll file it away Underneath the pile of the things I left on my shelf this week Send me a bicycle And I’ll know you’ve learned your lesson Cause these glossy 8x10s don’t mean a thing If you don’t send a present too I don’t think I’ve ever read a line! With so many exclamation points! Your son’s going off to college! And your daughter made state again this year! I CAN SEE THAT CAPS LOCK IS YOUR FRIEND But do you really need to share How your wife got a new Mercedes And your husband’s in a mid life crisis And I can’t imagine How many times you struck that pose Before your picture came out well Reading this Comic Sans Is killing my brain cells And I really do care But can’t you call my phone? So send me your Christmas card And I will file it away Underneath the pile of the things I left on my shelf this week Send me some Lincoln Logs So I’ll know you got the message So many of the things I’ve wanted Will you supply them? So I can have them? Believe it or not I really want to see you this year So pack up your car today And bring your family to my place We’ll share some cold egg nog And you can build with my Lincoln Logs And tell me how your life has changed Just give me more than your Snapshot page
