The ten years sober lady at the Circle K
Asked Sara 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 the were traveling 
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 you and you
Family doing Christmas day?'

Sara said, 'when I was a muffin
It was just me and my dad
He drove a Greyhound Bus from
Portland to Vancouver'

'I 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 he would play 
The very first song 
He taught me was
Today is the greatest day'

The Smashing Pumpkins 
Are as old as my father
And 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 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 11
My dad said
"Baby polar bear 
She's never 
Coming back"

My mother dying
Took my dad to 
Dark places
He's never been before
He got hooked on Oxys
Got arrested trying to score
Took me and my sister away
Into foster care
But I wrote my dad every day
Signed, always your baby polar bear

The Smashing Pumpkins
Remind me of my father
And Soundgarden
Remind 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 strength's inside you.
Before long
You'll see me"
This is the last Christmas
My sis and I will spend alone
Because next summer my dad
Finally gets out on parole 

And when I was 12 
Planted an evergreen 
To cut down the Christmas
He comes home 

The Smashing Pumpkins
Remind me of my father
And 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
And 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
