The Lights and Buzz

Jack's Mannequin have their awesome Christmas song, Lights and Buzz available in the iTunes Music Store. You've gotta love the church-bells in the beginning followed by the slightly trippy vocals. Lyrics for the song are below.

The Lights and Buzz by Jack's Mannequin

I'm coming home from my hardest year
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here
And this life has been no holiday,
A complicated situation
I'm fine with all my memories
Still I could use a vacation

It's Christmas in California
It's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time
But I'll take a west coast winter to remove my splinters

It's good to be alive
It's good to be alive

I'm coming home to the lights and buzz
Streets look the same
Still nothing's as it was
This place is paradise I'm sure,
Here's my reservation
I've gotten lost here once before
Inside a good vibration

And time, time it stops for no one
The seasons come and go and that's just time
Yeah time it stops for no one
The seasons keep on going
Whether or not we're blind
