Christmastime In Toronto

Oh oh yea

So this is your number well I just called to say 'hello'

I was blurting, you were blurting, we were talking in morse code

We just got cut off or disconnected, I dunno

But it's Christmastime, Christmastime in Toronto

We got this power to generalize when everything explodes

The certainty of our unknown, your childrens' unknown

You're gonna let us in though youre technically closed

Must be Christmastime, Christmastime in Toronto

Let's have a toast!

To charity, wickedness, dope

A toast!

To the day after tomorrow

Oh oh yea the day after tomorrow

You'd like to buy the drink a bar, take us all to the show

You're so full of cash tonight, you could buy the Pope

You might as well try and get milk from your elbow

Though it's Christmastime, Christmastime in Toronto

With your dark epiphanies, your true lines and smoke

Your glistening rails and streetcars all aglow

"always the wind and the persistent snow

Gets into your eyes and your mouth and every fold of your coat"

Everyone hates you but they don't know what I know

Besides, it's Christmastime, Christmastime in Toronto

Let's have a toast!

To charity, fixedness, hope

A toast!

To the day after tomorrow

Oh oh yea the day after tomorrow
