I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
All alone drowning in my sorrows
Christmas time always brings my sadness home
A child is born on Christmas Day
But they crucified him anyway
Oh no, I’m not merry, no
Oh no, I’m not merry, no
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I wish today was like tomorrow
Christmas cards always make me feel alone
My tears are for you lovely babe
As they sacrifice you now we’re saved
Oh no, I’m not merry, no
Oh no, I’m not merry, no
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I never knew a very Merry Christmas
Santa Clause was a real bad guy
I never knew a very Merry Christmas
Santa Clause was a real bad guy
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
I’m dreaming of a black black Christmas
Black smoke glows against a midnight sky
Oh no, we’re I’m not merry, no
Oh no, we’re I’m not merry, no
Oh no, we’re I’m not merry, no
Oh no, we’re I’m not merry, no
