Merry christmas Emily 



Emily was twenty three 

Sitting on the ground 

Under a dead palm tree 

6th and Speedway 

On Christmas day 

Seemed like things were gonna go my way 



But we had some good times 

Drinking cheap wine and popping pills 

Spending the holidays 

Getting drunk at the rusty nail 



Emily from a good family 

They fucked* your head [* messed in the radio version] 

And sent you to me 



'Its a Wonderful Life' 

Is playing on TV 

I still think about you 

Do you think about me 



(Merry christmas Emily) 

(Merry christmas Emily) 

I still think about you do you still thing about me 

(Merry christmas Emily)

It may have seemed 

like i was down and out 

But my insurance claim 

Was still paying out 

You were heading back up 

While I was going down 

So I reformed the band 

To try to keep you around 



Then we had some bad times 

Drinking wine in the summer heat 

A couple loud arguments 

Standing in the middle of Congress St. 

So there's Emily 

Under the dead palm tree 

Its Christmas day 

And its like 80 degrees 

I still think about you 

Do you still think about me 



(Merry christmas Emily) 

(Merry christmas Emily) 

I still think about you 

(Merry christmas Emily) 

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily) 

(Merry christmas Emily) 

(Merry christmas Emily) 

I still think about you do you still think about me
