lyrics

december 82
snow is falling
chelsea feels indifferent but you’re calling
happy christmas at every stranger
the brightest angel in saint judy’s manger

you got bowie’s grace
and lou reed’s smile
yeah i’ll sit and talk with you awhile
but it’s the longest night of the year
and i’ve got a place that’s not far from here

on the city streets the bells are ringing
a choir is singing
and hallelujah’s the refrain
while out on the pier the boys are working
and some are searching
for something to ease the pain

say you wanna come home with me
we can light up the christmas tree
cry hallelujah once again

and later on while you are sleeping
watching you wondering you’re dreaming
in those heroin blue eyes
brightest angel in disguise
don’t lose your halo in the coming storm

on the city streets the bells are ringing
a choir is singing
and hallelujah’s the refrain
while out on the pier the boys are working
and some are searching
for glory they’ll not find again

everything we got this december
promise you that i will remember
sing hallelujah one last time

december 83
the snow is falling
here in chelsea’s bars the boys are calling
for another round of cheer
it has been one hell of a year
lady madonna when you sing
one more angel has got his wings

on the city streets the bells are ringing
a choir is singing
and hallelujah’s the refrain

by Mirrors

The music of Mirrors just blows me away...old school analog synths and sequencers...compelling and plaintive vocals...it's everything synthpop should be. Maxwell's Complex
