A bullet in your WHAT?

Guy: Oh Santa
I've been waiting on you

Santa: That's funny kid
Because I've been coming for you

Guy:Oh Santa
I've been killing just for fun

Santa: Well the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun

Guy: A bullet in your WHAT?

Backup: Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it, Santa's got a bullet in his gun

Guy: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year

Santa: There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright

Guy: Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out

Santa: Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain

Backup :In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own

Guy: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

They had it coming
So why can’t you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever

Woo!

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

Believe me
Santa
Santa

- "Don't shoot me Santa", The Killers

A song to add to the Christmas holiday season cheer. A definite must have. =P

First time I heard this song I laughed my ass off. Just couldn't believe what I was hearing. Then I went to youtube. Laughed a lot more. Oh man, but I needed that. If I hadn't heard this song, this post would have been alot more grim/morbid/emo.

Heh.

Lucky

Do you hear me,
Talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

- "Lucky", Jason Mraz feat. Colbie Caillat

In some ways, I have been very, very lucky. In others, not so much. Life's like that sometimes I guess. And sometimes, its NOT just about a matter of perspective, glass half full/empty kinda bullshit. Sometimes.
