about
holiday release of a not-christmas song from my not-christmas album that has the word "christmas" in it a lot
DEAR EVERYONE: DO NOT BUILD THE CHRISTMAS CAR BOMB. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL CAR BOMBS, LIVING OR DEAD, IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL
DEAR EVERYONE: DO NOT BUILD THE CHRISTMAS CAR BOMB. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ACTUAL CAR BOMBS, LIVING OR DEAD, IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL
lyrics
I know it sounds like it's a lie
Something too bold to even try
Despite the years of work put in
my knees still shake when I think about it
Build the Christmas car bomb
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
Build the Christmas car bomb
and it's alright to write a Christmas song in
May this one set our past aside
May all our Christmases be white
Though I can see it in my brain
I still get chills when I try to start it
Build the Christmas car bomb
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
Build the Christmas car bomb
and it's alright to write a Christmas song in May
And when you play the shaker
I want you to imagine
that you're filling up a tiny world
with a dose of artificial snow
Where the blizzards are relentless
always rising with the upbeat
and the little penguin trapped inside
watches life become a frozen hell
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
When you build the Christmas car bomb
know it's alright to be the worst at something new
and it's alright to sing a Christmas song in June
Something too bold to even try
Despite the years of work put in
my knees still shake when I think about it
Build the Christmas car bomb
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
Build the Christmas car bomb
and it's alright to write a Christmas song in
May this one set our past aside
May all our Christmases be white
Though I can see it in my brain
I still get chills when I try to start it
Build the Christmas car bomb
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
Build the Christmas car bomb
and it's alright to write a Christmas song in May
And when you play the shaker
I want you to imagine
that you're filling up a tiny world
with a dose of artificial snow
Where the blizzards are relentless
always rising with the upbeat
and the little penguin trapped inside
watches life become a frozen hell
Take the Christmas Staten Island Ferry
When you build the Christmas car bomb
know it's alright to be the worst at something new
and it's alright to sing a Christmas song in June

The Cashmere Cassette
