Red Punch / Green Punch - Carbon Leaf

Nothing says Christmas like a party out at my great aunts,

out on the front lawn, some things never change.

A manger scene, wise man, and herd of sheep so fantastic,

hard covered plastic blinking in the yard.

Red punch, green punch, Brach holiday mints and some peanuts.

The more things stay the same you know, the more they stay the same.

Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts,

the great aunts of the world you know will never change their game.

Figurines like memories,

ceramics pulled from the basement, fire-glazed in 1963.

Silent night music box, travel back in time

when Christmas always always shines.

Red punch, green punch, Brach holiday mints and some peanuts.

The more things stay the same you know,

the more they stay the same.

Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts,

the great aunts of the world you know will never change their game.

The poor years, the war years, the 50s and the 60s and the born years,

Christmas in the 70s and the early 80s never fade.

Red punch, green punch,

never thought that I could miss it so much.

The more things change, you know,

I think some things should stay the same.

Red punch, green punch, silver bowl of mints and some peanuts,

the great aunts of the world may come and go

but they never change their game.
