lyrics

Christmastime may never be the same
Since I saw you across the conference room
And I asked Colleen your name
And the irony’s your outerwear’s to blame
Such a simple choice you made displayed a
Red-nosed lack of shame

And your reindeer dance in some suggestive trance
Inside my brain
Freshen up
My last cup
Of champagne

And wrap me in your holiday sweater
Let’s spend these longer nights knit together
Just wrap me in your holiday sweater
I know the coming year will be better

You made quite a sight for my sore eyes
Your acrylic-blended eyesore was a
Criminal disguise
In a swirl of reds and greens you hypnotize
I could see myself as your sweet elf,
In a garment just my size

And your Santa’s helpers wreak a helter-skelter
In my mind
While your style
Makes me smile
I’m inclined

To wrap up in your holiday sweater
Let’s spend these longer nights knit together
Just wrap me in your holiday sweater
I know the coming year will be better

Ooh, your holiday sweater
Ooh, your holiday sweater

about

Mount Pressmore Austin, Texas

Mount Pressmore makes music that crosses cultures and transcends categories. It’s Herbie Hancock meeting Peter Gabriel in a Danny Elfman film score. It’s a comedy, for sure, but one that balances social satire with self-examination.
