I saw the snow I watched it float above the ground Lit up and aglow by a star beneath the clouds They took my presents as the evidence That he was watching me He sees you when you sleep He knows when you're awake He'll jingle all the way into our trap Underneath my tree, it is not what it seems (Now guide him to us) Just presents sent to me from my friends and family Just listen to me A ship with a fireplace It's the only one in space A chimney with a tree And ornaments that just won't stay in place You do not have shake any snow globes There's no gravity No one can hear you jingle when there's no Air for you to breathe He knows that you've been good And that we've been bad He'll sleigh right into our hands He'll jingle all the way right into our trap Then we'll learn how his secrets Underneath my tree, it is not what it seems (Now guide us to him) Just presents sent to me from my friends and family Just listen to me Underneath my tree, it is all the proof they need (Now what's inside them?) A gift and note that reads: From: Santa Claus To: Me Underneath your tree (And our satellite feed) Is all the proof we need We know exactly where he will be Yeah, his lead dog is too bold He's red, white, and he glows That's a bit on the nose Underneath my tree, it's not what it seems (And our satellite feed is all the proof we need Yeah, it's just what it may seem) Listen to me Sometimes seeing should not mean believing So give up this abductive reasoning Do you only believe in the air that you breathe When it's cold enough to see? Maybe underneath my tree There much more than there might seem Underneath my tree, it is all the proof I need That he'll come for me And our satellite feed is all of the proof we need Just listen to me Underneath my tree, it is all the proof they need Just presents sent to me from my friends and family

Christmas Eve night Tucked in my bed Anxiously waiting For sleep to come take me But nothing is taking me Try as I might Flickering lights Patterns and shadows Of figures grow bigger They’re marching and spinning They dance in the door frame And into my eyes How can I sleep? When all of my wildest Childish dreams Awaken at night Illuminated by Lights on the tree Lights on the tree Snowflakes outside The falling of flurries Dampen the stirrings Of creatures and dancers And all of the soldiers With gingerbread feet Wind on the pane Howling like ghosts who Fly in from the cold Like stories we’re told When we’re just old Enough to believe How can I sleep? When all of my wildest Childish dreams Awaken at night Illuminated by Lights on the tree Lights on the tree

about

A double A-side featuring our 2015 holiday song ("Christmas in Space") and a remastered version of our 2014 holiday song ("Lights on the Tree). Both songs will appear on the soundtrack to a Christmas movie we're writing about confused aliens who are threatened by Santa's seemingly unlimited power, and the Earthlings who need to convince them that he's not a threat. Yes, we realize how ridiculous that sounds.
