The Letdown

The night’s so long you can almost hear it groan
The night’s so long you can almost hear it groan
And we walked so far that our shadows turned to stone

It was a wretched room but we hung up Christmas lights
It was a wretched room but we hung up Christmas lights
And the girls played house while the neighbors froze outside

Brace yourself for the letdown
The holy ghost with his hands out
No peace on earth is cheaply found
Do you see my colors now?

She had long black hair and you bought everything she sold
She had long black hair and you bought everything she sold
And she taught you the fine points of doing just as you were told

Brace yourself for the letdown
The holy ghost with his hands out
No peace on earth is cheaply found
Do you see my colors now?
Do you see my colors now?
