Holiday pathos is thick in the air I can see it every department store Santa's blank stare The Salvation Army is stationed at every door And I don't think that I can be merry no more I used to think humanity was kind Until I turned it over in my mind You see, I was just naive Now all I do is grieve For the blissful ignorance I left behind I caught the early bus today With presents in each arm As if generosity could cure my blues I thought, "A quick libation never did a body any harm" Then I found out just how much I had to lose...

They tell me I've been here before But I'm gonna have to take them at their word 'Cos these holidays have been such a blur And this night just took a turn for the absurd My lady, she was right I've been pissed-up every night And for the next ten days, there ain't no end in sight Now my mind is so empty It's sad but it's true I've forgotten more lately Than I thought I knew Family, endless friends in town They're all getting more of me than they had planned Seems like every time that I put one down Someone drops another whiskey in my hand And now everyone can see I'm as useless as can be All this Christmas cheer is catching up with me
