Arrogant Worms - The Same Christmas Cake Lyrics
Christmas makes me realize how greatly things do changeFriends lose touch, people age, and family moves awayBut it is what had stayed the same that gives me the most tearsFor Ive had the same christmas cake for almost thirty yearsGranny made it back in sixty-eight and gave it to my momWho gave it to her uncle who gave it to her sonWho then gave it to me and that is where it stuckFor I was only three months old and clearly out of luckEach christmas of my childhood that fruit-brick would returnMy mom would place it on a plate and tell me I must learnThat it is rude to get a gift and not put it to useAnd every year Id take a bite and chip another toothAfter fifteen years of misery Id had all I could take (all I could take)That summer I went camping and dropped it in the lake (in the lake)I thought that I was rid of it, but on christmas eve (christmas eve)There it was from santa claus under the christmas tree (christmas tree)Each year Id try to lose it but it would just returnSo I cried out oh why have I been given such a burden?A voice replied, its not a curse, but the greatest giftFor when all else abandons you, you will still have it.For all of mans creations slowly waste awayRelationships do crumble and buildings do decayThe pyramids and stonehenge slowly disappearBut if they were made of christmas cake theyd last a million years
