He was breaking into cars
On Christmas Eve
She was out on the corner
Trying to score a little reprieve
It's getting harder and harder to believe
And mirrors belong on walls
Not on tables
I was sitting at home
Wondering what comes next
I saw a flash of light
And a bullet proof vest
Gunned down in the street
For doing his best
Ain't we all doing something that we shouldn't?
Oh ohhh look at it snow
I'm sitting pretty by the fire you know
Baby's safe and warm
Safe from all this worlds harm
While we look for something to believe in
It's a dark street
In a cold town
In a mean old world
Always knocking guy's down
And it all goes to show
It keeps spinning round and round
So you better keep your feet on the concrete
Christmas Carol was crying
Trying to cover that pain
She'd start it off different
But it would end the same
Sticking Christmas cheer deep into her veins
Well we all gotta find a little comfort
Oh ohhh look at it snow
I'm sitting pretty by the devil you know
Baby's safe and warm
Safe from all this worlds harm
While we look for something to believe in
Bob was staying clean
Got a place of his own
Stopped breaking into cars
Called his mother on the phone
Not asking for money
Not cooking up that stone
A twisted Christmas miracle for someone
You know that Santa is on his way
With the drugs in his sleigh
Trying to hem the demons in
Try to quite up that brain
A little dirtier that ours
But it needs love just the same
A life in a world full of trouble
