May I propose A new tradition Every year We'll gather 'round Take off our clothes Our inhibitions Are silent here We're safe and sound We're all exactly the same May I suggest A routine practice To help remember It's all made up Go do your best To stay distracted God damn December Won't wait up We're all playing the same sad game May I propose A celebration Every year we'll throw a spark As the fire grows We'll start a-singing 'Rejoice, my dear! Before it's dark' We're all fanning the same blue flame We badly need A ceremony Some solemn vigil To recognize It's make-believe The game is phoney And the flame is fragile It always dies We're all exactly the same
