Bright Eyes - Hungry for a holiday

The i^Cndecencies of c^Dity streets The ^Ecleaners' sweeping ^Atrucks from nine to ^Gnoon ^G And the ^Cfactories make ^Dclouds To keep the ^Esun from being ^Ajealous like the ^Gmoon ^G While the ^Chusband holds his ^Dhouse He hates his ^Echildren for being ^Egreen when he is ^Ggray ^G And his ^Cwife, she likes to ^Dtalk on tele^Ephones But just to ^Apeople far away^{G G}

Well, the ^Ebig surprise was ^Ftelevised On a ^Gcrowded couch their ^Geyes grew wide and wet Oh, ^Ewas it really ^Dsuch a sad e^Cvent? ^C You could ^Ecapture this with ^Fcamera clips, but it ^Gdon't exist Just ^Glight on nega^Etives Another ^Dnumber on the ^Cbirthday cake You should ^Aact your age

We were ^Chungry for a ^Dholiday Won't ^Ecooperate with the ^Acalendar we ^Gfound ^G We just ^Cscattered snow-like ^Dstyrofoam And ^Esang our christmas ^Acarols all through ^Gtown ^G And the ^Cvoices soared, the ^Dpeople joined With s^Eilver coins they ^Afilled our cupping ^Ghands ^G And we ^Call agreed, the ^Dcharity was ^Emuch in need Yes, a^A noble cause at ^Gthat ^G

And I ^Cmet a man, a ^Dmannequin Who ^Estood so still I ^Aknew he was ^Gafraid ^G And he pre^Cferred a place of ^Dpermanance To the ^Eawful guessing ^Agame of choice and ^Gchange ^G

Well, the ^Ebig surprise was ^Ftelelvised On a ^Gcrowded couch our ^Geyes grew wide and ^Ewet Oh yes, it's ^Dreally such a ^Csad event You can't ^Ecapture this with ^Fcamera clips No, it ^Gdon't exist Just ^Glight on ^Enegatives Another ^Dcandle on a ^Cbirthday cake And a ^Awish you make

Well, if the ^Ecostume fits, keep ^Fwearing it But no ^GHalloween could ^Gquite account for ^Ethis I guess you're ^Dgetting into ^Ccharacter ^C Or just ^Ebe yourself, if ^Fthat would help Or ^Gsink completely ^Ginto someone ^Eelse You dreamt of ^Dmountains but some^Ctimes a hole Is more ^Acomfortable
