Trans-Siberian Orchestra - What Is Christmas? lyrics

rate me

What is Christmas?

Tinseled fairytale;

Day old stockings lined up in a row

What is Christmas

Could someone tell me that?

What is Christmas?

Surely, i don't know!

And everywhere these lights;

Who needs to color night?

Could this whole thing be planned?

I do not understand

This Christmas!

Trees with colored lights;

Underneath they still are only trees!

Do you think that one day

perhaps they might

Find that Christmas

Is kind of a disease?

Every year it's waiting for me,

Waiting for me!

Every year it constantly defies!

Placing strangers

There before me;

There before me!

Spreading hope and cheer

Mixed in with happiness

Fraternal bliss and other Christmas lies!

And there's one more thing

that i have discovered

And i would now like you to know!

The reason for Christmas, i now realize,

Is an excuse to tolerate snow

Snow!

I don't even like the sound of it!

Anyway, where was I?

Oh, yes!

What is Christmas?

Candles everywhere;

A fire hazard any other day.

Children light them;

No one seems to care!

All for Christmas!

Every year it returns here

And every year it's waiting for me!

Why can't Christmas disappear

And just pretend it never saw me?

Every year i get my hopes up

That it will somehow just leave!

But every year i wake to find

That once again it now is Christmas eve!
