I was a crab dragging claws through the mire
Down below in the murky depths of nowhere
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
Pleased to meet you, oh how do you do?

You were the head in the window of a car
Passed by over and over again
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
Pleased to meet you, oh how do you do?

I was blind, blind inside
But now I see how you told the truth
When you lied to me
