lyrics
Remember when snow used to fall?
But now it just don't snow at all
The fragments of moon in the sky look so nice
Oh Santa, please bring us some ice
Though the nuclear north pole is so nice and warm
no reindeer are born, just clones
there are cyclops to eat
and these gills can't be beat
but baby, I wish it was cold
it is going to get better soon
that's what they said when they blew up the moon
and so
I won't believe it until I can see
a piece of sky, a bird, the sun, some trees
oh no
you just don't listen when I say it's bad
don't count your eggs until your children hatch
they won't
winter makes a child out of all of us
you don't need these compound eyes to see
happy underwater christmas
from me
