Christmas Is Here

Christmas is here
but what do you care anyway
«war isn’t over at all», you say,
and walk away
and blind as a bat
you fire your echo at
the holy, bloody Mary
and all you sing to salute your king
is bye bye lullabye-byes
bye bye lullabyebye
no blackbirds sing in the dead of night
christmas is here
but what do you care anyway
you say your heart was taken and given away
and blind as a bat
you fire your echo at
the holy, bloody Mary
and all you sing to salute your king
is byebyelullabyebyes
no blackbirds sing in the dead of night
all your black birds
have died overnight
open your eyes! Watch the sky turn white!
Oh, dear friend, come to my house again.
Because you are still here
and I’m still there for you
and christmas is here
and swans appear
like snow in the air
and suddenly we hear:
the kingdom is near
christmas is here
the kingdom is near
christmas is here
the kingdom is near
christmas is here
the kingdom is near
