The Letdown

Lyrics

The night's so long, you can almost hear it groan The night's so long, you can almost hear it groan And we walk so far that our shadows turn to stone It was a wretched room but we hung up Christmas lights It was a wretched room but we hung up Christmas lights And the girls played house while the neighbors froze outside Brace yourself for the letdown, the Holy Ghost with his hands out No peace on earth is cheaply found Do you see my colors now? She had long black hair, you bought everything she sold She had long black hair, you bought everything she sold And she taught you the fine points of doing just as you were told Brace yourself for the letdown, the Holy Ghost with his hands out No peace on earth is cheaply found Do you see my colors now? Do you see my colors now?
