The Bad List

If it were me I'd write another song Something in a major key You and I will always be The dream It was a scream when we were young and dumb Acid on Topanga Beach In my mind we'll always be That free But something changed, along the way Winter never turned to spring It's Christmas Eve You set the house on fire It's snowing on palm trees The river has run dry So let me set you free Let me help you please Say goodbye On Christmas Eve All the lights are on, but no ones home How cold are my frozen feet With nothing lying underneath The tree The only soul I knew to telephone Knows I'm lying through my teeth We were always thick as thieves You and me But something changed, along the way Winter never turned to spring It's Christmas Eve You set the house on fire It's snowing on palm trees If you stay you're gonna die Let me help you please Let me help you leave Say goodbye On Christmas Eve But there's no bandage There ain't no ballad To fix the sadness So happy christmas Back on the bad list I don't want no gifts Just a first kiss For the new year Just a first kiss To face the new year If it were me I'd write another song Say goodbye
