Christmas at the Nursing Home

Puppy close to me, keep her on a lead 

Disappoint the host, not staying for the most 

Crying at the clock, no way to make it stop

Connections breaking up, cross the Nullarbor and the Rocks 

Hiding from my blood, especially when they’re all I’ve got 

Goodies breaking up and Binny thinks we’re lost 

Record breaking high moods across the suburb’s block 

And it’s Christmas time, maybe for the final night, 

Got so many more to live for, now it’s all a giant blur 

It’s a roast by name but it’s cold to the touch 

It’s holidays with the- ooh, 

It’s Christmas at the nursing home 

Fighting for a long shot, for a reason, for a car spot 

Fair enough, we were late again but she won’t remember in a day 

And I long for when I'd only get a card 

Made in a shop in Taiwan, holding close a Westfield gift card 

This one’s is not like the others, I’ve been left to walk a stray 

A plane has separated me from history on this day 

And it’s hard for me to deal with all this growing up around 

But one day she won’t remember when we’re closer to the ground 

And it’s Christmas time, maybe for the final night, 

Got so many more to live for, now it’s all a giant blur 

It’s a roast by name but it’s cold to the touch 

It’s holidays with the- ooh, 

It’s Christmas at the nursing home 

Take a left right down the hall, I’ll take you on a tour 

Where we were what 31st, the last time that he knew her 

She cried for my Barter, he couldn’t say her name 

My cousin fell right to the floor, he’s grieving for his shame

And it’s Christmas time, maybe for the final night, 

Got so many more to live for, now it’s all a giant blur 

It’s a roast by name but it’s cold to the touch 

It’s holidays with the- ooh, 

It’s Christmas at the nursing home
