  • To the tempo of your uptight
    Is the flicker of a street light
    You know this moment don't ya
    And time is strangely calm now
    'Cause everybody's gone it's
    Just you and your anger

    Oh, golden boy, don't act like you were kind
    You were mine, but you were awful every time
    So don't tell them what you told me
    Don't hold me like you know me
    I would rather burn forever

    But you should know that I died slow
    Running through the halls of your haunted home
    And the toughest part is that we both know
    What to happened to you
    Why you're out on your own
    Merry Christmas, please don't call

    You really left me on the line, kid
    Holding all your baggage
    You know I'm not your father
    Who says welcome to your uptight
    While it flickers like a street light
    He flickers through your damage

    Oh, golden boy, you shined a light on your home
    And at your best you were magic we were sold
    But don't tell 'em what you told me
    Don't even tell 'em that you know me
    I would rather burn forever

    But you should know that I died slow
    Running through the halls of your haunted home
    And the toughest part is that we both know
    What happened to you
    Why you're out on your own
    Merry Christmas, please don't call

    One ticket out of your heavy gaze
    I want one ticket off of your carousel
    I want one ticket out of your heavy gaze
    I want one ticket off of your carousel

    But you should know that I died slow
    Running through the halls of your haunted home
    And the toughest part is that we both know
    What happened to you
    Why you're out on your own
    Merry Christmas, please don't call
    Merry Christmas, I'm not yours at all
    Merry Christmas, please don't call

    Please don't call me
    Please don't call me
    Please don't call me Writer/s: Jack Michael Antonoff
