lyrics

Eatin' pasta from a cardboard box
On Christmas Day.
Stay in bed till 3 P.M.
There's no place that'll have us anyway...

The shops are pulling down their lights, it's not cold outside.
No snow to melt.
The jet lag finally wore off,
We realized just how bad that mattress felt.

Somewhere up in the sky,
Take me home for New Years, don't be late.
Plans will fail, I don't know why.
Looking back it's just a simple twist of fate.

A borrowed toothbrush and a hotel bed,
It's soft enough.
Frozen waffles in the morn,
In Canada you'd think it'd be the real stuff.

Somewhere up in the sky,
Take me home for New Years, don't be late.
Plans will fail, I don't know why.
Looking back it's just a simple twist of fate.
