Christmas in July

Well, I'm half a mile from Canberra Where it snowed for fifteen minutes Now it's gone I could put my stocking on the tree Suspending all belief But I know that's wrong So very wrong 'Cause it's Christmas in July And my extraordinary life Is still on song A lot going on I've released my inner Santa And he's dancing with the 'roos By the billabong In a sarong We're eight thousand miles from Reykjavik Where snow is falling thick And I miss my boo I don't know what to do So I stare back at a reindeer Through a glass wall In the old Taronga zoo And I think of you 'Cause it's Christmas in July And this extraordinary guy Who's aim was true But he missed his cue Is dreaming of a cold white night Where everything could be put right Tonight For me and you Ah yeah Well, I'm driving out in this nowhere zone To find some place, somewhere warm to go 'Cause it's so damn cold Soon everything could be put right My lonely snow-cone world would be shut tight Without a fight And I'll see Santa landing on the roof A lone star in the sky to serve as proof Oh ain't that the truth? But it's Christmas in July And my extraordinary life's All black and white Out here tonight And there must have been an oversight No blinking of a warning light Tonight And that ain't right So it's Christmas all alone I'm in a place that I can't really call my home And my cover's blown And I'm a million light years out of place Dreaming of a time so far away So far from home And I'm all alone
