You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
Out on to an open road you ride until the day
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies
And in one last breath they built the roads they’d ride to their death
Driving on through the night, unable to break away
From the restless pull of the price you pay
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don’t blame this sleeping satellite
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon
Don’t turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon
And you won’t make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night
We weren’t lovers like that and besides, it would still be all right
We weren’t lovers like that and besides, it would still be all right
Well we danced by the light of the moon. The band kept on playing that tune.
You asked me to carry you home, we were alone.
And then I saw moonlight dance in your hair. Now I’ll never, never, never see it again.
No I’ll never, ever, ever have it again. It’s gone, just like the song that lives on.
Ooh now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, oh
I got no reason to doubt you baby
It’s all a terrible mess
And I’ll run in the rain till I’m breathless
When I’m breathless I’ll run 'til I drop, hey!
And the thoughts of a fool’s kind of careless
I’m just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
He’ll make this December, the one you’ll remember
The best and the merriest you ever did have
Everybody’s waitin’ for the man with the bag
Christmas is here again
We’re drinking our way through the holidays
Trimming trees and slurring our words
Grab a fifth of gin and join right in.
Christmas lights are awesome when your vision’s blurred.
When Santa shows up for the holidays
And you know he’s in on the gag.
He’s up on the roof full of 90 proof.
He’s always half in the bag.
I bust through the doors and all eyes on me
I knock the lights out of Santa and burn up his tree
She falls in love all over, and says she wants me
Santa is bad, but not badder than me
Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
There’ll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can’t bind your heart
And there’s no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I’m old enough to face the dawn
It’s a long dark road that I call my home
It a long dark road that I’m cursed to roam
These many nights I’ve been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed roll and a blanket
And just the the rocks to lay my bones
