A haunting keyboard riff, a slight lingering sense of sadness, a Christmas theme (Advance Base style Christmas that is). More gorgeous music from Owen.

about
I got the idea for this song while I was hanging up the Christmas lights on our porch. It's a Christmas song.
lyrics
There are always twinkle lights
at my auntie's house
& you can hear Jingle Bells
Always playin' loud
Because when he was seventeen
My cousin Steven took LSD
on Christmas Eve
Now he's always kind of Christmassy
Christmas Steve
He walks around town in his Santa hat
He doesn't bother anyone
He's got a job at my other cousin's work
Mowin' lawns out in the sun
But because back in '93
He swallowed too much LSD
on Christmas Eve
he's just always kind of Christmassy
Christmas Steve
