Intro
Verse 1
The churchyard is frozen
The Salvation Army is closin'
Your child is dozin' as leep
In the back seat
The radio purrs
The heater is sweeter than when your heart was hers
Going hom e
Verse 2
I can't get sl eep
Bethlehem is a flock of sh eep
With no shepherd to cling to
An angel to sing to
Magi to bring you myrrh
The radio purrs
Verse 3
A mansion of saviors
I-75 is a dark roadway lined
With the wild electricity of the
Animal beh aviors
The bodies of young deer
The fam'ly it leads to
The sacrifice needs to not mar
The bright beacon star
Verse 4
No vacancy taken
The landscape is bone-chalk yet wet with vibr ations
From the lamp-lit gas stations
Our few constell ations
To course lapping anger on to
A manger of patience
Verse 5
I'll see you at morning
The sterile air coming
From the yard will come white light
The memory of last night
The sickness and thickness of the
Christmas glow swarming
