lirik lagu emperor x - last christmas (i gave you five bucks)
on my way to work
i saw an older guy
in the median selling magazines
and asking passing cars for change
and i had a pocketful
but i never gave him anything
i didn’t like his looks
and his voice annoyed me
breathing car exhaust
down every lane he crossed
hands wet with window wash
clutched to a stash of crumpled ones
i assume he did alright
he was gone by 6 at night
pushing his shopping cart
to the camp behind walmart
this could be worse, he thought
beneath the loading dock
the staff are kind to me
and i have a steady line of work
and he never asked for much
but once a week or so he hissed
“i’d like to burn this world
to an ash~choked crater”
then he disappeared
at the coldest time of year
i saw his shopping cart
buried in snow around the back
and a pile of magazines
and frozen window wash
and countless crumpled dollar bills
blew in the gathering wind
of a polar vortex
and the parking lot pa played wham!
“last christmas, i gave you five bucks
and the very next day, i forgot you existed
last christmas, i gave you five bucks
and the very next day, i forgot you existed
last christmas, i gave you five bucks
and the very next day, i forgot you existed”
