Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Reindeer smoking cigarettes on rooftops in fishnets
In the morning with the moon still glowing
And here comes Santa in an Astrovan, rolling down Broad and Pattison
He's stoned while Jerry plays
[Chorus]
Said, life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright, Mama, you're afraid
I'll be poor along the way
But I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan
Yes, he does
He said, "Ooh, ooh"
[Verse 2]
And in my heart, there's a hole that grows from all the ones I miss the most
Some of the best ones ain't coming home
So if I love under the mistletoe, reaching out for the great unknown
Every reindeer has illusions
[Chorus]
Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright, Mama, you're afraid
I'll be there along the way
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan
Yes, he does
I said, "Ooh, ooh"
[Bridge]
When I see those reindeer on the roof
I'll know I've made it, when my
Doobie smoking Santa puts my name up on his nice list
He said, "Son, you're famous in Philly
You'll always be famous in Philly"
And you know you'll always be winning
When you're coming home for Christmas
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan
[Outro]
I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan
