'Cause the eggnog always makes me sick
You know how the story goes
You’ve seen it all before
That man is so obese
That he can’t get out the door
Christmas stupefaction
I’m begging for some action
And the ringing in my ears
Is the sound of Christmas cheer
Come to knock me screaming overboard
You know how the story goes
You’ve seen it all before
That man is so obese
That he can’t get out the door

==Lyrics==
Merry Christmas, everybody
I'm just sitting here in my apartment in Los Angeles, California
And I was thinkin' of y'all
So I decided to sing this little song
Here we go
Well, the snow is gently falling
Santa's on his way
All the kiddies are tucked in
In the Constitution State
But it's quite a different story here
As I'm sipping my eggnog
Santa, he don't dare come here
He can't find his way through the smog, that's right
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
Ain't no presents for me today
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
I check through my stocking and then I'll be on my way
Ho-ho-ho
Well, I woke up Christmas morning
And my jaw dropped in surprise
It was clear that Santa had been there
From the evidence before my eyes
Yeah, I'd been paid a visit
By the Santa of East L.A., mom!
That son-of-a-gun, he stole my TV set,
My stereo, and my last week's pay
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
Ain't no presents for me today
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
I ain't got the tree or the trim anyway
Hi, Mom, Steve, and Leaves,
And Grandma and Grandpas, Uncle Rick,
Aunt Bev and little John, 
I just wanna let you know I'm thinking of you on this Christmas
Well, I wish you all a merry, merry Christmas
And a year with good things to bring
As for all that I got this year
Was a Christmas cockroach in my stocking!
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
Ain't no presents for me today
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
I check through my stocking and hey, I'll be on my way
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
Hey, ma, they don't even have any snow here
Christmas in L.A., Christmas in L.A.
That's no tree, no snow, no Santa Claus, no presents, no...
Christmas in L.A., no Christmas in L.A.!
Bah-humbug! I'm going back to Connecticut, man
It's nice and cold, there's snow on the ground
What more could you ask for, man? Now that is Christmas

We grow old, our hearts are dim
But our minds are free to fly where they will
Your beauty has faded, you're a broken shell
It's only the weak that fall for your spell
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
It's time to move to the next life
You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
You'll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh, the jewel of the Nile
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
You can't control me no more, Cleopatra, -patra, -patra
All the wine we tasted
All the love we made
All the strumming lyres
Will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone, gone, gone away (woah-oh-oh-oh...)

Void, sound, light
Welcome to the simulation, all right
Faith, hope, love

Give up yourself
Obtain your only truth
What other clever trick is any use?
Sun, moon, stars
We drive fancy motorcars, all right
Love, joy, bliss
?? truth is a sunny day in your kiss
Give up yourself
Obtain your only truth
What other clever trick is any use?
All our days are numbered ??
All time kingdom come
Shadows dance with light
And you're the moon inside my sun
Give up yourself
Obtain your only truth
What other clever trick is any use?
Pride, greed, lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, all right
In your heart
There's a little child who just makes art

Uh-huh
Many times ago, as it takes to make the world
That's what she said
So it's written there, dogs and cats everywhere
Been what she said
Say you don't know, say you don't go no more
Say you never heard of such a thing, say you don't know
Everywhere I look it's always one inch that it took
Never asking
Say you don't know, say you don't go no more
Say you never heard of such a thing in your life
No wonder you don't know
Ignorance is bliss
So close your eyes and give me a kiss
And give me a kiss
Question still remains, why am I locked in such pains
While I'm serving
So it's written there, dogs and cats everywhere
There where he said
Oh babe, oh babe
Tell me you don't know, say you don't know mama
What you don't know that you don't know, say you don't know, no, no, no
Ignorance is bliss
So close your eyes and give me a kiss
Yeah

Clown Song

"Clown Song" is a demo by The Relationship and is currently unreleased. It was written by Brian Bell.
==Overview==
==Lyrics==
As I sit, sit here alone
Pondering knowledge of facts ghastly known
Remember the sun
Days of fun
Put on your pantaloons
Come all, come one
And enter the night of spectacular sights
Igniting great frights
Most sacred of plights
When knees knock their bones
And sometimes, if you listen
Even clowns play trombones
As I sleep, sleep here at home
Recalling visions from of sounds from a poem
Remembered by some, the story of one
Painted smiles, red rose nose, black and blue glum
And enter the night of spectacular sights
Igniting great frights
Most sacred of plights
When knees knock their bones
And sometimes, if you listen
Even clowns play trombones
As I stare at shaved ice cones
Ringmaster yells through his red megaphone
And last ladder rung
?? she now flung
Greatest show on Earth is P.T. Barnum's
And enter the night of spectacular sights
Igniting great frights
Most sacred of plights
When knees knock their bones
And sometimes, if you listen
Even clowns play trombones
And sometimes, if you listen
Even clowns play trombones

You could have been such a hero
Now everyone thinks you're a weirdo
Now the best clown in town

It's the cocaine blues
Don't try to get in the water
Don't try to get in the lava
She's a scapegoat woman with a ??
It's the cocaine blues
