"Hye Kye" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

In December in California, the air was hot
And I carried the Christmas tree down Indian Hill
To the Gemco parking lot
What did I see, what spectacle confronted me
Ten thousand Christmas trees

And the people standing around, and the smiles on their faces
And the boards in the shapes of Xs
Hammered into the Christmas trees bases
I took in the smell, I looked around
And among ten thousand Christmas trees
I lay down
