Hungry For A Holiday Lyrics - Bright Eyes

The indecencies of city streets 

The cleaners' sweeping trucks from nine to noon 

And the factories make clouds 

To keep the sun from being jealous like the moon 

While the husband holds his house 

He hates his children for being green when he is gray 

And his wife, she likes to talk on telephones 

But just to people far away 

Well, the big surprise was televised 

On a crowded couch their eyes grew wide and wet 

Oh, was it really such a sad event? 

You could capture this with camera clips, but it don't exist 

Just light on negatives 

Another number on the birthday cake 

You should act your age 

We were hungry for a holiday 

Won't cooperate with the calendar we found 

We just scattered snow-like styrofoam 

And sang our christmas carols all through town 

And the voices soared, the people joined 

With silver coins they filled our cupping hands 

And we all agreed, the charity was much in need 

Yes, a nobel cause at that 

And I met a man, a mannequin 

Who stood so still I knew he was afraid 

And he preferred a place of permanance 

To the awful guessing game of choice and change 

Well, the big surprise was telelvised 

On a crowded couch our eyes grew wide and wet 

Oh yes, it's really such a sad event 

You can't capture this with camera clips 

No, it don't exist 

Just light on negatives 

Another candle on a birthday cake 

And a wish you make 

Well, if the costume fits, keep wearing it 

But no Halloween could quite account for this 

I guess you're getting into character 

Or just be yourself, if that would help 

Or sink completely into someone else 

You dreamt of mountains but sometimes a hole 

Is more comfortable
