We must not fear this as it grows near
Christmas will be soon
Luring like the moon
Decorate your untamed nature
Christmas will be soon
Now, let go of Solstice and save our souls
Christmas will be soon
Very very soon
Idols come and go
Melting like the snow when sunlight comes
Play their drums
Play their drums
Cut down our twig shrine
Sit 'round the big pine beneath a star
This is who we are
One last toast to has-been ghosts
Ooh, Christmas will be soon
Let's stop burning Yule logs
In faith of fool's gods our kids won't know
Idols come and go
Ordinary folk floating like the smoke
We are adrift
Take this gift
Christmas!
Oh, now not one more word
I'm looking forward
So change your tune
Christmas will be soon
And the winds have changed now (The winds have changed)
And we are strange (And we are strange)
Now will you change your tune? (It will be soon)
Christmas will be soon
Decorate your untamed nature
Christmas will be soon
One last toast to has-been ghosts
Ooh, Christmas will be soon
Christmas will be soon
Christmas will be soon
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas
