    ~

    I Found my coat
    Had trouble with the sleeves
    We lifted your box
    And bent at the knees
    Know what tears the most?
    It's the disregard for your Holy Ghost
    You left the world, the world kept going...

    Now I'm alone
    I'm alone
    And I don't fit in here in our home
    Where nothing tastes the same
    With the tip of my tongue
    Holding onto your name

    (chorus)
    Come on and pick me up
    Raise me off the floor
    Let me hear the band
    Play the Rites of Man
    Come on and lift my head
    Lead me to the door
    Make me understand
    The Rites of Man

    Peace and quiet
    Are over-rated words
    The music of our home
    Faded and unheard
    Everything's as I left it
    Orderly and perfect
    Nothing's out of place
    All the cassettes stay in their case

    (chorus)

    a month too late, but still better than blink 182 anytime

    sometimes you have to work on christmas (sometimes) - harvey danger

    a studio apartment in a dull part of seattle
    a strand of light suspended by a thumbtack in the drywall
    the restaurants are closed, so are the record shops
    the banks and bars and bartell drugs
    and so's the half-price bookstore
    but the movies are always open
    and I always have to open

    a reperatory moviehouse where life is not so wonderful
    for 15 soggy patrons who have no better place to be
    not to mention me

    I'm working for a holiday wage
    my family is two time zones away
    I'm supposed to call them
    my vodka and snow is melting
    the alcohol isn't helping

    sometimes you have to work on christmas (sometimes)
    you have to work on christmas sometimes
    you gotta work on christmas
    I doubt I'll miss this

    there's an artifical tree
    blinking in the lobby
    sitting on the coffee table, yeah

    strangers and spare changers stand in line
    like poor relations
    at some kind of sad reunion
    and I'm selling the tickets
    they come in out of the weather
    for christmas alone together

    sometimes you have to work on christmas (sometimes)
    you have to work on christmas sometimes
    you have to work on christmas
    I doubt I'll miss this at all
