Arcade Fire - A Very Arcade Xmas lyrics

On a Christmas day
Early in the beginning of this century
Down the road and there
I saw many sights that day
Searching for the perfect present
To give my love
Knocking on every shopkeeper's door
Please produce a product worth buying my love
A gift to show how I care for her
To prove my emotions are real this time
So she knows next Christmas will
Be grand as well
It was later that afternoon
The sun had gone down
A little bet that I had knocked
On just the right store door
A little man, with a little snub of hair
Came to the handle and turned it
And opened it and asked if I would enter
And purchase what I would
Well were it was perfect


But just a little bit good
I went to the rear, where the glass case was
Not very full, not overfull that is
There was just a small jewel colored rouge
I said "How much for that
Red little jewel there?
I think it's just the
Perfect communicative gift
To show that I care
(absolutely) a great deal"
Its eight hundred and seventy three dollars
That's the problem
I didn't have that much money
Not on me at least
So I ran out the door and I ran down the road
To the bank to withdraw some more cash money
I was sure that I had enough
I took it all out
And returned to the store to purchase
The rouge diamond for my love
Alas, I was out of cash
Besides the diamond was just glass
The diamond was just glass
The diamond was just glass
The diamond was just glass
The diamond was just glass
