Verse 1 Waking up today To a house that lost the fight Boxes, bags, and guilt From shopping through the night Receipts are long gone now Lights still on display Oh what fun it is to live In cluttered disarray Chorus Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way Oh what fun it is to stand In crowded stores all day, hey Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way Paid full price last night Now it’s half… today Verse 2 Standing in a line At returns and quiet dread “Do you have the receipt?” No, but I have debt Gift cards running empty Expiring anyway Everything I wanted most Is cheaper now today Chorus Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way Oh what fun it is to stand In crowded stores all day, hey Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way Dopamine wore off too fast Anxiety has stayed all day Bridge (spoken / half-time) Family’s finally gone Silence screams too loud Credit bills start rolling in Joy is not allowed Final Chorus Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way Oh what fun it is to swear “I’m done next year”… today, hey Christmas sales, Christmas sales Markdowns on the way I’ll get my life together soon Well, just not happening today
