lyrics

Looking for good in a freaky world
Trying to find a way to make it work

Listening for angel songs tonight
Following the star to find the light 
Trying to find the hope of Christmas time

Rolling my eyes at everything I hear 
My head is spinning like this crazy sphere

Listening for angel songs tonight
Following the star to find the light 
Trying to find the hope of Christmas time

Do you really want to celebrate this Christmas 
Do you really want to party through the night
 Do you really want to feast with joy and merriment
Let's party tonight

You're always frowning, everything's appalling
You're cynical and it's catching darling 
You're drowning out the angel song tonight
I'm looking up at stars to follow right
We're gonna find the hope of Christmas time

Do you really want to celebrate this Christmas 
Do you really want to party through the night 
Do you really want to feast with joy and merriment
Let's party tonight

We're getting grumpy at a crumbling culture
We're sowing doubt and we're shrinking smaller

I'm listening for angel songs tonight 
Following the star to find the light 
Trying to find the hope of Christmas time

Do you really want to celebrate this Christmas 
Do you really want to party through the night 
Do you really want to feast with joy and merriment
Let's party tonight
