A Great Big Sled Lyrics by The Killers

Don’t Waste Your Wishes

2006

[Verse 1: Brandon Flowers]
This snowman is shaping up to be an eight
But not out of ten
The robots awake to find that they've been taped down
Wondering when
They'll break through these chains
But little boys have action toys for brains
I'm living proof it can last a long time
[Verse 2: Brandon Flowers]
Now the girls off the street are innocent and sweet
When they're all in bed
They got their make-up and dreams of wonderland
Sprinkled inside their heads
And soon they will change
But tonight, Hollywood has never seemed so strange
Now mothers pray it'll last a long time
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what I already know
Just let me take flight, dressed in red
Through the night, on a great big sled
[Post-Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
Ho, ho, ho
[Verse 3: Brandon Flowers]
Now the boys are all grown up
Out there working their fingers to the bone
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend
You know they still can't be alone
And I've been racking my brain
With thoughts of peace and love
How on earth did we get so mixed up?
I pray to God it don't last a long time
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers]
I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
I wanna relearn what I already know
Just let me take flight, dressed in red
Through the night, on a great big sled
[Bridge: Toni Halliday]
I hear the sound of bells
There's something on the roof
I wonder what this night will bring
[Chorus: Brandon Flowers & Toni Halliday]
I wanna roll around like a kid in the snow
(I hear the sound of bells)
I wanna relearn what I already know
(There's something on the roof)
Just let me take flight, dressed in red
(I wonder what this night will bring)
Through the night, on a great big sled
[Outro: Brandon Flowers & Toni Halliday]
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
(You can't do that)
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
(You can't do that)
