A Holiday Classic

Hot cocoa, stocking stuffers... and Tonyboy

Christmas at the Beach

We took the bus to Atlantic City, me my cousins and my sister's boyfriend
We brought a thermos of lentil soup, some apple-smoked bacon and some beers
We showed up on the boardwalk and no one was around for miles
We were terrified

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas at the beach

We built a snowman out of sand and then immediately after that there was a terrible incident
My cousin with down syndrome raced into the water
We didn't pat attention at first, but then we heard him scream and go rigid
I lost my leg to hypothermia in the cold dark water

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas at the beach

My cousin and my sister's boyfriend went to hit the casino
My sister's boyfriend didn't have any money, but he really wanted to play,
So he put his car keys on 17 red and lost everything
The car was back in Milwaukee so he had to pay some guy to have it towed
1,00 miles to Atlantic City

I don't really talk to those guys anymore
I heard my sister broke it off with corey
My family still thinks I let julius drown because he had down syndrome
He was always such a burden
Now I'm the family burden now I'm the family burden now I'm the family burden...

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas at the beach
