Im sitting here on the top of the world I hang around in the longest night Until each beast has gone to bead and then i say god bless and turn out the light While you lie in the dark afraid to breathe and you beg and you promise and you bargain and you plead sometimes you confuse me with santa claus its the big white beard i suppose im going up to the pole where you folks die of cold i might be gone for a while if you need me
