All the Xmas lights are placed neatly in their boxes
Until this time next year, when they'll live again
I'm happy yet it's sad the holidays are over
But there's one last chore that I alone must endure

I must go to the Xmas tree graveyard
Where all the trees are there
And all the trees are bare
But I don't want to go to the Xmas tree graveyard
In a dark and empty lot at the corner of I forgot
There's a darker side to Christmas
On the other side of town

Boxing day [bad word] and gone, our lives return to normal
And on a dear and pleasant day, I think I'll drive that way
And in a sad and vacant lot lies a single broken branch
It slowly dawns on me, it's part of last year's Xmas tree

I must go to the Xmas tree graveyard
Where all the trees are there
And all the trees are bare
But I don't want to go to the Xmas tree graveyard
In a dark and empty lot at the corner of I forgot
There's a darker side to Christmas
On the other side of town
