You walk me through the park
Where all the dark spots lit by snow
You talk me through my part
As if you're starring the show
I hate you 'cause of the way
These Gotham snowflakes lick your hair
I hate 'cause I need you
'cause I know that you don't care
You remind me I'm no longer young
It's the 20th of December
Santa's looking kind of worn
The windows shine like embers
And every year there's more
I don't think I look much older
But I'm not the one the one to ask
Nostalgia's getting bolder
With every day that passes
It reminds me I'm no longer young
Back when the streets were paved with light
As if this town was built by night
And our steps like hyperspace flight
In a universe that was ours by right
You look at me through lenses
Of the ideas that were never mine
You're shooting cross the trenches
In the world war of your mind
You've gone and hit old Sancho
Between the halo and the eyes
Bet he didn't see it coming
Just the tunnel and the light
So go away and pray, baby
Come back when you can cry
It's Christmas time, remember?
The least you should do is try
The 90's like the weak link
In the chain around my heart
And the place I've built within
It's like an island off the charts
You step in like a tow truck
And tear my world apart
Yawning like a housecat
Playing cruelly with the mouse
You're shouting cross the trenches
To steal my peace of mind
It was you who killed the angels
You the greatest lover of all time
You're just a petty thief now
In a universe of small crime
You remind me I'm no longer young
Back when the streets were paved with light
As if this town was built by night
And our steps like hyperspace flight
In a universe that was ours by right
Where all the dark spots lit by snow
You talk me through my part
As if you're starring the show
I hate you 'cause of the way
These Gotham snowflakes lick your hair
I hate 'cause I need you
'cause I know that you don't care
You remind me I'm no longer young
It's the 20th of December
Santa's looking kind of worn
The windows shine like embers
And every year there's more
I don't think I look much older
But I'm not the one the one to ask
