The X-Mas Case
THE X-MAS CASE
SANTA CLAUS WALKS IN WITH HIS SACK FULL OF DOUBTS
HE COMES OUT OF THE HAZE WITH A DESPERATE GAZE
SIPPS A ZERO COKE AND PUFFS E-BUTT SMOKE
HE’S A MAJOR PLAYER OF THE CHRISTMAS CASE
CRAZY MADONNAS AND WISEMEN OF THE YEAR
ARE DUE TO MEET IN A CORNER OF THE MAZE
TRADING PRECIOUS GIFTS FROM THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT
THEY’RE CRAZY CASUALTIES FROM THE CHRISTMAS CASE
MORONIC ADS POP UP ON YOUR SMARTPHONE SCREEN
YOU HAVE BEEN ADDED TO A CUSTOMER BASE
YOUR WALLET IS DRAINED AND IT SUCKS YOUR BRAIN
YOU KNOW YOU’RE CAUGHT UP IN THE CHRISTMAS CASE
ILLITERATE UPSTARTS ARE TAKING THE LEAD
WITH THE RAZZMATAZZ AND ALL THAT JAZZ
FIFTEEN HOURS CLOCKS ARE RUNNING OUT OF STOCK
YOU CAN SAY IT’S A HELL OF A CHRISTMAS CASE
POLICE IS ON THE VERGE OF THE BIGGEST BREAKDOWN
DRUNKARDS RAISE A MESS ALL OVER THE PLACE
CODES FIVE-ZERO-ONE ARE FILLING THE TRASH CAN
IT’S JUST ANOTHER FACE OF THE CHRISTMAS CASE
FEEL THE FEVER RISE / FEEL THE BRAINS SHUTTING DOWN
SEE THE LAUGHS AND CRIES / EXPECT THE WORST TO COME
HERE’S THE MIDNIGHT KISS / AND I’M FEELING JUST LIKE SHIT
SEE THE EMPTY EYES / WHO WILL BE THE FIRST TO HIT
A PATHETIC CLOWN AT HIS BALCONY
SAYS HE PRAYS TO THE LORD FOR MORE PEACEFUL DAYS
MILLIONS OF SHEEP AGREE WITH BLISSFULLY SMILES
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE END OF THE CHRISTMAS CASE
SANTA CLAUS WALKS IN WITH HIS SACK FULL OF LIES
HE LOOKS A BIT DAZED WITH A FAR AWAY GAZE
(HIS) TICKET IN HIS POCKET FOR HIS JOB CENTRE DATE
HE’S A MAJOR LOSER OF THE CHRISTMAS CASE
