In the fallout from the second coming We found ourselves in eachother's arms You took my hands and it felt like Christmas As an orange glow soaked the room from a hungry fire Every flame flickered in a pirouette of light Still the shadows cast round the doorframe left us froze with fright Oooh merry Christmas lover- it could be us tonight Oooooooh Now one by one they're fearless Like we've been sinking ships with loose lips all our lives When your eyes were wide like Marilyn Head to toe in white you told angelic eyes You kick the old year out and help the new year to its feet Follow every star above every bar that led to me Ooooh but when the wage is wrong you just have to leave Now the sleigh bells rustle as the chain gang shuffles Like a children's choir they're screaming You were filled with doubt until the lights went out And now you wish that you were dreaming So merry Christmas Honey I feel your pain Merry Christmas I'll leave the light on again Merry Christmas Honey I feel no pain Merry Christmas I'll leave the lights on again Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas
