Christmas time may always be the saddest time of yearnBut if misery loves company let's play at solitairenIf you've any thought to our forgotten dreamnHere's a swallowed prayer and not so silent screamnnPlease don't chop another Christmas treenPlease just let her live and let her breathenSpare the little flower as you didn't spare my heartnTend each thirsty flower, don't tear her apartnPlease don't axe another evergreennPlease don't make that cut however cleannBless each fragrant nettle and how happy she will benCradle every blossom and kiss them for mennPlease don't slice another Christmas firnPlease don't kick another to the curbnPut away the hog's head and the fetish for the fleshnDeath is no requirement for your happinessnnPlease don't kill another living thingnPlease don't sap her veins but let them singnDon't tether her branches to the chair or kitchenettenWhether our romance is a thrill or regretnnPlease don't squeeze another Christmas crownnJust to build her up and break her downnPlease don't slowly starve her whilst the party rages onnI know what it feels like to shiver in the sunnnPlease don't chop another Christmas treenEvery wild soul craves libertynCherish every being, any species, any sizenI'm a weeping willow yet I still empathizenSo though you've got your life and familynThough you've chosen and it wasn't menThough my future's decked in miserynOh please oh please don't chop that Christmas treenn(Spoken) Merry Christmas everybody!
