You're heartbroken, drunk and frozen
The snow is falling and the stores are closing
But you ain't got no money
To buy a present anyway
It's just the weather, but remember
Every year by the middle of December
You can't stop thinking of the world's end
You start calling your old girlfriends
Something's going on and it isn't clear
But it seems to happen this time every year
You were staring at the pretty lights
When your car started sliding on the ice
They're closing all the highways
Nobody wants to die that way
And all this nonsense just goes to remind you
Your heart's colder than the snow
And you spend another Christmas
Making angels with your loneliness
And the snow falls and you disappear
And it seems to happen this time every year
Something's going on and it's never clear
But it seems to happen this time every year
