LYRICS
He’s lying on the double bed acting self assured
In his T-shirt and his underwear he’s barely said a word
She pours a cup of coffee lights the day’s first cigarette
Picks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenette
There’ re two guys moving slowly in the room across the hall
Both their heads are pounding from last nights alcohol
They met in a chat room then they took it here
They both go by pseudonyms and soon they’ll disappear
Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
They hold on to each other in the darkness
The morning light is hell at the Camelot Motel
He met her at the pool hall the guys told him she was touched
Now she’s ranting and she’s raving about the devil, christ and such
He’s thinking about the highway and the way she begged last night
He’s wishing he had blown this place before the morning light
Chorus
Lancelot and Gwenavear bang their bedpost in my ear
Neon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entry halls
I lie awake with a troubled mind thinking ‘bout what I left behind
Me and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sins
There’s a couple counting money in room 124
They’re wrapping 10’s and 20’s throwing 1’s down on the floor
They’re strung out and nervous jump at every little sound
He keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol down
Chorus")

LYRICS
Davey stole a Christmas tree from K-Mart last night
Red ribbons and silver bells, angels dressed in white
He tied it to the bridge rail so passing cars would see
He danced a little dance up there, looked down and smiled at me
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft
I sleep in the open air, under the Southern Cross
Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel
Davey is a friend of mine and we get along pretty well
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
Snowbirds on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts
Some play pretty good some so bad it hurts
We pick up their golf balls that fly over the fence
Shine em up a little bit and sell em back for fifty cents
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
I wont lie, we just get by but well be eating good tonight
Christmas dinner at 5 oclock over at the Church of Life
They dont care who you are and they dont ask what you done
Come on down and bring a friend theres plenty for everyone
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
The radio plays Christmas songs while we get high
Davey shouts Merry Christmas yall
To the cars passing by
Davey shouts Merry Christmas yall
To the cars passing by
