I don’t think there’s ever been a Santa
That could stand this weekend in December
Ma skied off with Neil November
Sink into the carpet watching movies by myself
You know that awful movie
Where the wealthy exec in his twenties
Travels back to the 1950s
To relive every holiday memory?
Fall asleep
Watch a dream
I travel the 80s
And I learn nothing
I don’t think there’s been a sandwich in our
House since—how ‘bout maybe last November?
I’ll be gone by next September
Now I need to ride my sister’s bike downtown to eat
Glide down the shallow passes
As the Reaganwood Center amasses
Malling cars as a sacred duty
Leaving neighborless streets all around me
Try to break
Swerve away
But cut onto to Main Street’s
Holiday Parade
Thank you, you’re all too kind
As I make down the coated line
With a sea of gloves in a welcome wave
And a Baptist float in my merry way, where
Mary rides with a Jesus and a Joseph
Calling back to climb under the blanket
I toss my bike up to the side and join their ride
Throwing candy like an angel in the night
And I smile like a shepherd in the night
And I rise like a frost in the wind, but I keep that child in sight
‘Cause I’m wishing on you tonight
I’m wishing it all on…
I’m wishing on you tonight
I’m wishing it all on you
