Calexico - Seasonal Shift

Well it's funny this season there's a reason I ain't got no money
It's been disastrous but somehow we'll get through

On the holidays they're complex
And we know just where we'll find ourselves
Sleeping on the floor at half past two

Yeah we're putting together the string of lights
In the living room
Oh the Christmas tree's nearly caught on fire
But we'll be alright
Who knows where we'll come down
From this glaze for the holidays
And everything will be fine

Little toys for those girls and boys don't forget them
Oh mom and dad now with gin and tonic in hand
Are more relaxed
It's always the same with the holiday highs and lows
Come sit by the fire with me
I wanna share some of this glow

Bring your friends over they can stand in the corner
And hold their breath
Join in the family's dysfunctionality shining at its best

Let me know if I can lend you a hand
Digging you out of the snow
We can waltz around the kitchen to ease this seasonal shift
All I want for the holidays is to be by your side
It's been a heavy year darlin' it'll all be over soon yeah

There it goes 'round the bend
The year that would never end
Gonna wave bye bye
