The 8th, and final track from 1999’s Eureka.
“Happy Holidays”, though a joyous and cheerful song, seems to be pretty explicitly about suicide. The entirety of Eureka, in fact has much of the same themes, despite its very pleasant sound.
I'm going to a place
Where the women have nothing on
But the radio
Turned up to 10
Too loud for me to think
I'm hoping if I blink
I don't wake up here
One of life's greatest sins
Is that you're over when it begins
Goodbye, Mouth Canyon
You weren't very much to see
But I only came to leave
