==Lyrics==
Well haven't you seen that big sign 
over on First and Seventh that says 
with words ten feet high and made of teeth 
"Oh reason not the need" and underneath 
is a man doing an imitation of Satan 
but there is nothing evil in him 
he was just another saint that was made broken 
next to an old doorway 
with a dark history of being left open

Saint Nicholas 
left your toys again behind at the bar 
a silver gun 
some dollar bills 
a lump of coal 
and wolves howling at your door

A ceiling full of inflatable worlds 
and Xmas lights that spin all year round 
the question is always bigger than the answer 
it takes a nurse to ease you into your surrender 
as she smiles 'cause she knows you won't remember 
things you should only be telling your mother 
as she counts you down, your drowned soul 
tired and hard, defeated and getting mean 
and what's worse, the humiliations of a good time 
or slipping into the routine 
or for you is it 
all the same thing

Saint Nicholas 
left your toys again at the bar 
a silver gun 
some dollar bills 
a lump of coal 
wolves howling at your door

Most people want to inhabit their lives 
like ghosts and drift from room to room 
and brag about what imprisons them 
and wait for the sweep of a broom 
and written in the dust beneath your drink 
it says, "Deadness needs nothing to justify it" 
like the ache that's crawling though your chest 
needs nothing to amplify it

For years you wore the crown 
now the wolves are hunting you down 
and you're dead serious in your face 
you're dead serious now 
want someone to see you

Saint Nicholas 
the wolves all believe you 
Saint Nicholas 
the wolves all believe you
