christmas yet to come - cloud caverns lyrics

december ’96, when we were young, when we were kids
when the tree was all we worshipped
and the gifts were a close second
and the snow fell down, down, down
and fireman santa came to town
thinking back, it’s kind of creepy, the way he looked so greasy
and dad was tuned to channel 5
and mom was on the telephone wire
talking happily with her mother
who was a thousand miles away from her
me and my dear brother, and our good old friend, red simba
ken griffith and kong diddith
and all those creatures we explored the world with

you’re the ghost of christmas past, blended fire and glass
fragile as a fig
you’re the ghost of winter’s ash
at some new year’s bash
to reignite not again

wrapping paper on the ground
two dogs wrestling in it
that sound of crunching memories
nostalgia and fake christmas trees
all those road trips town to town
observing lights from house to house to house
the ones that looked like icicles were the sh, they just became fashionable
and dad hid his sleigh bells under leather seats
or maybe it was just the crown vic breaking down
said it was santa overheard, though we couldn’t ever spot him
and on christmas eve we didn’t sleep a wink
we’d lay silent and we couldn’t think
the wraiths did come to visit us, and the misers none the wiser
mama’s gonna be so mad, that were still up and it’s half past ten
but tv land is on, and marley’s chains still clang, clang, clang along

oh…

you’re the ghost of christmas yet to come
yet you still ramble on, as if it won’t ever change
you’re the ghost of kingdom come
but still you carry on
as if the spirit hasn’t faded away
