lyrics

Came home to a note pinned to the lamp shade on the eve of Christmas Eve
From the landlord I’d been dodging, said I had forty-eight hours to leave

He said I know your roommate done went to prison and your name’s nowhere on the lease
If you get gone, we’ll call it even and we won’t have to call the police

So I went to a party, drank, smoked and tripped on shrooms
By the time I came back around the next day was well past noon

Not a bag was packed up, not a thing was out the door
Why take the whole forty-eight when you only need twenty-four

Sometimes you see the hard times through, sometimes you cut and run
Sometimes you get what’s on your wish list but sometimes
You get evicted for Christmas

Everything I need to own into the back of an old white van
Back inside to pack the roommate’s things the best I can

Dresser drawer full of Xanax bottles, not a single pill left behind
Fetish porn and other things forlorn I’d rather not keep in mind

Sometimes you see the hard times through, sometimes you cut and run

Sometimes you get what’s on your wish list but sometimes
You get evicted for Christmas

So I guess the moral of this story, if this story has any morals per say
Things aren’t always as them seem
And sometimes Christmas, well, is just another day

Sometimes you see the hard times through, sometimes you cut and run
Sometimes you get what’s on your wish list but sometimes
You get evicted for Christmas

The High Crest's songs are packed with the kind of bare-knuckle emotion that makes it hard to separate the crying from the laughter. -Troy Church, Big Foot Diaries
The songs flow like the two singers are passing the guitar back-and-forth and sharing their stories with a familiar audience. -Todd Partridge, DMMC ... more
