By the time the buzz was wearing off   We were standing out on the sidewalk   With our tattoos that looked like rings   In the hot Nevada sun      Gifts piled high   And our moms and dads shook hands   And a party of polaroid friends   Rented a pool and hired a band   Maybe they knew more than we knew   Cause they danced and drank while we jumped off the deep end   Oh I've got you   To thank   For this      Christmas came around   Yeah and everything was going to crap   For moms and dads, not a clue to be had   Yeah we put on a pretty good act   And they seemed to all need to believe it   So we danced and smiled and paddled hard beneath it   Oh I've got you   To thank   For this      You can't say you've never had a doubt   And smoked it down but really wanted out      By the time the buzz was wearing off   We were standing out on the sidewalk   With our tattoos that looked like rings   In the hot Nevada sun   And they won't fade      I've got you   To thank
