Woke up to sun streaming in my room
Warm beachfront palm December afternoon
You close your eyes, another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind, just another lifeMy parents sent a Christmas card and tennis shoes,
"We understand you're staying, and we're proud of you."
There's a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don't know if that's what this town gave me, or if it lead me hereAnd I've played so many parts

Don't know if I can takeAnother Christmas in L.A.
Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café
Another Christmas in L.A.
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don't know how long I can stayLeft a girl behind in my old man's truck

Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
Who do you think you're fooling man?

Tryin' to talk with Harry Dean
I don't know if I can takeAnother Christmas in L.A.
Another casting call on Thursday
For a job that doesn't pay
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another burnout in a tank top
That seems to bask in his decay
A fat protagonist in flip-flops
With an extensive resume
From Echo Park to CatalinaDreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Tree tops glisten, children listen
To sleigh bells in the snowAnother Christmas in L.A...
