The ten years sober lady
At the Circle K
Asked Sarah where she got her
Vintage Pearl Jam T-shirt
She said it was my dad's
He and my mom
Got engaged at this concert
She was already pregnant with me
And they were travelling the country
In a 79 RV

Got married in Bellingham
And my dad gave up
Being in a band
My mom joined the Army
To bring in more money

The cashier said life's funny that way
What are your family and you doing Christmas day?

Sarah said when I was muffin
It was just me and my dad
He drove a Greyhound bus
From Portland
To Vancouver
Got a scholarship to private school
Where the rich kids were really cruel
Called my dad a loser

When they made fun of my soldier mom
Punched the girls in the face and
Knocked them down
That Christmas my dad bought me my
First set of drums
Said you won't get suspended
And they're a lot more fun
My dad would take out his guitar
And we would play
The very first song he taught me was
Today is the greatest day

The Smashing Pumpkins are as old as my father
Soundgarden reminds me of my mother

The Smashing Pumpkins are as old as my father
Soundgarden reminds me of my mother
At night I turn the lights down dim
Put on my headphones and listen to them
Took my dad away
But I get to see him next Christmas day

When I was nine
My mother got shipped off to Iraq
When I turned eleven
My dad said baby polar bear
She's not coming back
My mother dying
Took my dad to dark places
He's never been before
He got hooked on Oxy
Got arrested trying to score
Took me and my sister away
Into foster care
But I wrote my dad everyday
Signed always
Your baby polar bear

The Smashing Pumpkins remind me of my father
Soundgarden reminds me of my mother
Me and my half-sister
Turn our amps up loud
And the lights down dim
Play along to my dad's records
Cause next Christmas we get to see him

He's been away
For far too long

The only way
I got through
Was listening to Smashing Pumpkin songs

All the way through high school
I barely held on
Dropped out with a semester to go
Moved out of Bellingham
My dad said in a letter
Get your GED
Pick yourself up
Your mom's strengths inside you
Before long you'll see me
This is the last Christmas
My sis and I will spend alone
Cause next summer my dad
Finally gets out on parole
And when I was 12
I planted an evergreen
To cut down the Christmas he comes home

The Smashing Pumpkins remind me of my father
Soundgarden reminds me of my mother
Me and my half-sister
Turn our amps up loud
And the lights down dim
Play along to my dad's records
Cause next Christmas we get to see him

The Smashing Pumpkins remind me of my father
Soundgarden reminds me of my mother
Me and my half-sister
Turn our amps up loud
And the lights down dim
Play along to my dad's records
Cause next Christmas we get to see him
