The Christmas decorations
Look ragged and rusty
A little sooty with coal dust
Santa's missing an eye
The neon sign flickers
On the cinder block tavern
By the Salvation Army
And the plumbers supply
The old downtown mission
Has John 3:16 painted
In all capital letters
Above cans full of trash
But the paint is all peeling
Broken glass on the sidewalk
Glitters like chandeliers
Somebody smashed
And my soul feels as empty
As a brown paper bag
The drained bottle inside it
Bought with bummed change
40 ounces of liquor
For 30 pieces of silver
And your temporary suicide
Has all been arranged
