Christmas in Nightmare City

Heater’s blowing in the car
Over the sound of a college game
Don’t know the team names
But it’s nice to have a voice on
Didn’t mean to drive so far
But you just had to get away
Walked in circles round the house all day
Til you had to turn some lights on
Stopped for half a tank of gas
Plus some Skittles & a diet Sprite
Could’ve stared at the beers all night
But you noticed the clerk was watching
Gary’s beautiful at night
By the lights of the refinery
It’s like Christmas in Nightmare City
It’s absolutely shocking
What do you call what you are now
Three months dry & gaining weight
Wondering how long it’s supposed to take
Before you feel stronger
