TITLE: «BAD SANTA» [Intro] I'm Santa. Bad. Don't expect gifts. I came for your fear. [Verse 1] December again, the same old ache, I drag my sack — it's empty, fake. Kids want a miracle, I want my drink, Presents get stolen, I can barely think. I used to be good, but that's not true, Now I'm the one who won't save you. My suit is red, but I'm not a saint, Just a man with a beard, tired and faint. [Chorus] Bad Santa, bad Santa, Don't believe in me — I'm a voice from hell. Bad Santa, I breathe in smoke, I don't bring joy, just winter's broken spell. [Verse 2] You write letters, but I don't read, I burn them in the stove — I watch them bleed. My reindeer are gone, they died long ago, I take a cab now — I don't care where I go. I remember the smell of tangerines, But now it's just a reason to drown in dreams, To wash down the taste of this bitter life, And turn away from other people's strife. [Chorus] Bad Santa, bad Santa, Don't believe in me — I'm a voice from hell. Bad Santa, I breathe in smoke, I don't bring joy, just winter's broken spell. [Bridge] But you know... one day I woke up, And someone hung a stocking on the door. I wanted to scream, but I looked up, And realized: I'm not a boar... I'm just tired of being mean, I want someone to tell me: "You're alive." I want to be not Santa, but just a man, Who doesn't drink, but believes in love again. [Final Chorus] Bad Santa... but I want to be good, I want you not to be scared of me. Bad Santa... I breathe in more than smoke, I'm searching for the light, I'm trying to be free. [Outro] Bad Santa... ...falls asleep. His sack is empty. But his heart — is snow.
