Santa In Flames Lyrics

Santa In Flames lyrics

"Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!"



A man in his slippers lounges around

Dreaming to pass the time

His head, filled with blues, reds, whites, and yellows

The sky

Filled with black

With nostalgia in pocket, those good old days fly

Skeletons' bones touch the ground

Happy he smiles, dressed in red and in green

But the green is all dying and red is our blood-washed dead sky



A man in his slippers, holding the key

To a door he unconsciously locked

His plasticized angels

In fool's golden heaven

Snicker as he sleeps



And barbed wire

It chokes him and cuts him down

Without him even knowing

Tension amounts

The temperature higher

He pushes his Santa

Into the fire



"Have a merry, merry, merry, merry one!"



[Repeat]: 

Now... Santa's... In... Flames... 



"Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus"

"Merry Christmas Everyone!"

"Help me!"

"Santa Claus!"



The announcer spat babble 'bout faraway wars

The trees were all dying

The streets, filled with whores

Outside the old man was clutching his cane

Watching a child's lungs collapse as he writhed in pain

The hills were eroding

The landfills overflowed

All the world was a time bomb about to explode

The world all around us was closing its doors

But this flare for the dramatic

Can be such a bore



And all the while

The man - he just snored

Till nothing was left

Nothing to live for

And as Santa burned, plastic face in the ash

It dawned on the man that he had caused this crash



He wept as he watched Santa burn in the fire

He wept as he watched Santa burn in the fire

In the fire



"There's no Santa Claus"

"You're safe now [?] ...Santa Claus is gone"
