Lyrics
Christmastime in the Apocalypse (radio edit)
Put your ornaments away
Close the door and lock it tight
Take a moment to remember
On this unholy night
Is there something that you want
Is there someone that you miss
It’s just Christmastime
In the Apocalypse
It happened so fast
Took St. Nick by surprise
Sugar plums withered to prunes
Children’s laughter turned to cries
Some called it Judgment
Or just the Yuletide Flu
Didn’t spare Santa’s helpers
Not the Christians or the Jews
Were you naughty or nice
Too late to make a list
It’s just Christmastime
In the Apocalypse
It starts with a tickle
Then it burns with a fever
Saw what it done to Pa
Now I’m a true believer
Your eyes go grey
Your body starts a heavin’
You feel a wanderlust
Even though you ain’t breathin’
Keep that mistletoe a-hanging
For one last final kiss
It’s just Christmastime
In the Apocalypse
Those that went first
Some said the lucky ones
Left us no time
To get our shopping done
They shuffle through the mall
And wander aimlessly
Now the world’s gone to hell
You’ve got nothing left to sell
But your soul
With no power and no heat
Take the stockings from your feet
And pray for coal
You were always so fragile
You think I would have learned
But I kept hope alive
Even on the night you turned
What do baby zombies eat?
When they’re hungry they still cry
She’s staring at me so sweet
But with a funny look in her eye
Is there something that you want
Is there someone that you miss
It’s just Christmastime
In the Apocalypse
