"Me And Maurice" lyrics

Christmas Eve
A silver blanket spreads into the night
Distant sounds of bells and laughter
Plastic joy and light
Past floor plan variations
More or less the same
I walk Maurice and a full green bag of shame
Giant inflatable Santa Clauses smile and wave
As we head back through the snow
To the dark end of the lane

Where me and Maurice
We're digging a hole
The yard's on a freeway
We don't know where it goes
Santa Monica maybe
Or all the way to the North Pole

Winter sun is rising
Blurry and bizarre
Last night's air pump Santas
Are all face up in their yards
Frozen and deflated
Hungover and sad
Do they remember Christmas Past
And all the fun we had
You think that life is always gonna be one way
And in a minute it turns on a dime
Now it's just me and Maurice
We're gonna be fine

Cause me and Maurice
We're digging a hole
The yard's on a freeway
We don't know where it goes
Santa Monica maybe
Or all the way to the North Pole

A happy band of carolers ring the doorbell twice
Then they turn and disappear into the silent night

Where me and Maurice
We're digging a hole
The yard's on a freeway
We don't know where it goes
Will anyone wonder
Will anyone know
