Everybody's out of work and
All the churches are full
I think I'll go walking
Please meet me by the shore
All things and more have gone
Completely ignored
Mom and Dad have gone crazy
They're drunk and lazy

While they're lost in Christmas Day
They're lost in Christmas Day

Cops sit with killers
Lighthouses pull
Steering ships in to crash and
Lay broken by the shore
Nothing to regret and
Nothing to make up for
It's all just done and said
Just come lay with me

While they're lost in Christmas Day
They're lost in Christmas Day

I have committed us and
I love you in this long black sleep
Dreaming on the ocean floor
I am you and you are me
As we are together once again
Happy and free

While they're lost in Christmas Day
They're lost in Christmas Day
