Carriage - The Felice Brothers

Well, you promised to take me to town

In that old carriage hearse you found

Well, I’m lonesome, with nowhere to be

Just this old sleeping dog and me

And the tinsel hangs in the window

Candy canes strung on a tree

Well, it’s Christmas, the snow’s falling down

On this shit eating country town

Well, it’s getting hard to pretend

That the new Great Depression will end

Or I’ll save up more than a buck

But I truly don’t give a fuck

Hear the brainwashed candidates howling

See their worlds radiant with fear

Well, it’s Christmas 2015

In this shit eating corporate dream

Let us toast to Grandpa Felice

And all of the others deceased

To the blizzard flickering the light

And turning their graves to white

See the ghostly reindeer dashing

With their bells in the perilous night

Well, it’s Christmas, and the power is down

In this beautiful country town
