Merry christmas Emily
Merry christmas Emily
Emily was twenty three
Sitting on the ground
Under a dead palm tree
6th and Speedway
On Christmas day
Seemed like things were gonna go my way
But we had some good times
Drinking cheap wine and popping pills
Spending the holidays
Getting drunk at the rusty nail
Emily from a good family
They fucked* your head [* messed in the radio version]
And sent you to me
'Its a Wonderful Life'
Is playing on TV
I still think about you
Do you think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still thing about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
Merrry Christmas Emily
It may have seemed
like i was down and out
But my insurance claim
Was still paying out
You were heading back up
While I was going down
So I reformed the band
To try to keep you around
Then we had some bad times
Drinking wine in the summer heat
A couple loud arguments
Standing in the middle of Congress St.
So there's Emily
Under the dead palm tree
Its Christmas day
And its like 80 degrees
I still think about you
Do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
Merrry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
I still think about you do you still think about me
(Merry christmas Emily)
Merrry Christmas Emily
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
(Merry christmas Emily)
