The Sun Turns (Metaphorically Speaking, That Is) Lyrics

Now there's snow in the air
Which something happens occasionally over here
Like a postcard sent from far away
From a very different time
Where skateboarding was still a prime
Now the darkness surrounds Christmas day

And it's not about the presents
And it's not about food
And it's not about that guy who dies from sin
Now the streets are fluorescent, puts us all in a shopping mood
In the end, you'll see that everybody wins

'Cause the sun turns at Christmas time
And there's light at the end of the tunnel
It's the end of the beginning, the beginning of the end
Something so dark and now the future looks so bright

Little further north, it's even worse on the 4th
Of February, some people still haven't seen the sun
So it's not to complain, though it's pretty dark, it's not in vain
When the sun comes, we know it's almost done

And it's not about the presents
And it's not about food
And it's not about that guy who dies of sin
Now the streets are fluorescent, puts us all in a shopping mood
In the end, you'll see that everybody wins

'Cause the sun turns at Christmas time
And there's light at the end of the tunnel
It's the end of the beginning, the beginning of the end
Something so dark and now the future looks so bright

But it's not about the presents
And it's not about food
And it's not about that guy who dies of sin
Now the streets are fluorescent, puts us all in a shopping mood
In the end, you'll see that everybody wins

'Cause the sun turns at Christmas time
And there's light at the end of the tunnel (and it never goes out)
It's the end of the beginning, the beginning of the end
Something so dark and now the future looks so bright
