The Salvation Army Band
Plays before a cute snowman
I'd like to smash his head and run
Run behind the Grand Union
There inside my car I'll wait
Breathe and draw a smiley face
Hit the defrost and watch it fade
God, I hope she won't be late
That's where we once caught fireflies
And held them in our malt liquor bottles
We would sit on the hood
The night air felt so good
Good enough to invite you for a ride
In a shopping cart
The parking lot lights were harsh
She was just a friend
But I kissed her
Shopping cart left its mark
A grid on our backside
Confusion, yes. aching, yes.
There's parts of me I'd like to hide
Army band starts another song
I think I hope she won't be long
Eggnog's on sale and windows are lit
I fiddle with the crucifix
Plastic man fell off his perch
Underneath the car seat I search
All I find is a leaky pen
Christmas time is here again
Behind the Grand Union
Behind the Grand Union
