Lyrics

You be santa claus and i'll be the clown
And we'll strap on our packs and we’ll make the rounds
And you bring the rain and i'll bring the whiskey
You note the ghosts and i’ll hope you miss me

We won't be sitting and we won’t be stand-upping
We'll just sort of lean and try to think of nothing
We'll slip to the lot when our thirst starts to riot
We won't have names, we'll just nod and keep quiet

Sydney or the bush home run or a bunt
Swish was too sweet and philly was too blunt
Tampa got had and the owl got wiser
I was all right but dutch was the master
And i want your love, yes, i want your love

It's time to go now, it's the poor man's curse
It's been a hard day's night, and the night days are worse
But sleeping in the sun leaves the moon with the foliage
I don't need shades i just need a bandage

Now, you be the god, and i’ll be the christ
And we’ll split the gold i pull from the heist
And you sit on the throne and i’ll be at your right hand
Hark the herald, it’s the angel brass band

Sydney or the bush home run or a bunt
Swish was too sweet and philly was too blunt
Tampa got had and the owl got wiser
I was all right but dutch was the master
And i want your love, yes, i want your love

We’re humidor cool and we don’t make scenes
And we know what we know, if you know what we means
But it’s hard to walk a straight line, upon a fault line
We can’t help it if we’re countin’ in waltz time

There's a carnival tonight it's out around the bunker
Grab a ball, find a girl, hit the bull, and you dunk her
It's so timeless, like the rock of cashel
The beer is cold and tonight is kind of special

Sydney or the bush home run or a bunt
Swish was too sweet and philly was too blunt
Tampa got had and the owl got wiser
I was all right but dutch was the master
And i want your love, yes, i want your love
