so this is your number

well

i just called to say hello

i was blurting

you were blurting

we were talking in morse code

we just got cut off or disconnected

i don't know

but it's christmas time

christmas time in toronto

we got this power to generalise when everything explodes

the certainty of our unknown

your childrens' unknown

you're going to let us in though you're technically closed

must be christmas time

christmas time in toronto

let's have a toast

to charity

wickedness

dope

a toast

to the day after tomorrow

oh

yeah

the day after tomorrow

oh

yeah

the day after tomorrow

oh

yeah

the day after tomorrow

you'd like to buy the drink a bar

take us all to the show

you're so full of cash tonight

you could buy the pope

you might as well try and get milk from your elbow

though it's christmas time

christmas time in toronto

with your dark epiphanies

your true lines and smoke

your glistening rails and streetcars all aglow

always the wind and the persistent snow
