lyrics
Leaving home for Christmas
Packed my old guitar
The cat’s in her space suit
We’ve stocked up on dry fruit
The ice caps have melted
And everybody's gone
There was no place like home
But buckle up our time has come
The last ever queens speech, oh please!
Take it to warp speed
Christmas on Mars
Outta space I go
Dashing through the stars
To my new red rock home
We won’t have no snow
And no santa claus
I’ll find christmas spirit
In alien bars
Christmas on Mars
Outta space I go
Hanging with the martians
In my new red rock home
We won’t have no tinsel
And no santa claus
I’ll find christmas spirit
In alien bars
Wrapping up the presents
For new friends of mine
Time to be creative
'Cause there's no amazon prime
Another rusty pebble
A jar full of dust
It’s the thought that counts
So carry on we must
Lunch on the Kaiser sea
Vacuum packed turkey
Christmas on Mars
Outta space I go
Dashing through the stars
To my new red rock home
We won’t have no snow
And no santa claus
I’ll find christmas spirit
In alien bars
Christmas on Mars
Outta space I go
Hanging with the martians
In my new red rock home
We won’t have no tinsel
And no santa claus
I’ll find christmas spirit
In alien bars
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
