A Deer In The Road

from And To All A Good Night by Family Animals

/

lyrics

Falling down on christmas eve.
The tree made a mess on the floor.
And he's hoping the "invitations that I sent all must be lost in the mail. I'll just party all by myself!"

And he says "I don't want anything for Christmas. I just want to be left all alone. And there's no need for any mistletoe this year. " So he takes it down, starts choking on his throat.

The punchbowl holds enough for twelve,
he says, "I'll drink it myself!" And he does.
"I'll play all the games!" And he does.
Unwrapping the presents beneath the tree.
He rips them to pieces ungracefully.
He's writing a letter "Dear Everyone,
Thanks for coming to my party. It was a lot of fun."

Now the room's spinning around
And everything is slowing down.
He takes a rest on the floor.
and keeps his eyes on the door
"I gotta keep my eyes open wide if my guests should arrive. I'll just put a note on the door 'I drank too much, I'm on the floor'."

And he dreams of a beautiful party
And all his friends are at the door
And everybody sings to a beautiful melody.
But he's out of key, and starts choking on his throat.

Woke up to the telephone. "hello?"
He spoke with a friend. "Where have you been?! A deer in the road?".

They ran to a phone and called 911. Now several are laid up in the hospital. The few that were okay, they prayed all night. "Please god help my loved ones make it through the night"
He holds no expression upon his face.
He says "merry christmas". Then he faints.
