Black Christmas
[Verse 1]
Holidays don't fill me with cheer
I get a chill when they draw near
The time of year you can see your breath
My thoughts turn to death
The killer wakes up in his bed
From dreams of snow drenched in red
By blinking lights he waits to see
Blood as it drips from the Christmas tree
[Chorus]
There is no joy for me
Christmas is black for me
No hope, no cheer
Christmas is black every year
[Verse 2]
Sitting there all alone in your house
Nobody stirring, not a mouse
You got no money, you got no friends
You got no life, you don't need to pretend
Sitting there all alone
Try to ignore the ringing phone
Your bottle's empty, you're drowned in booze
Don't need to hear no more bad, bad news
[Chorus]
There is no joy for me
Christmas is black for me
No hope, no cheer
Christmas is black every year
[Bridge]
Everyone dies on Christmas
Loneliest time of the year
Everyone cries on Christmas
Oh, Christmas
Oh, Christmas just fills me with fear
[Verse 3]
Deck the halls with boughs of black
Your sister's dead from dealing crack
Was years ago, you were just eighteen
You weren't there but you can hear her scream
Your family waits by the Christmas tree
A-wondering where you might be
Where'd we go wrong, what can we do?
These charming strangers who don't know you
[Chorus]
There is no joy for me
Christmas is black for me
No hope, no cheer
Christmas is black every year
