Christmas Isn't Safe for Animals Lyrics

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Soft and squishy animated mammals
Tapping so lightly on their teeth with a gun
My god, are they cold?

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Crippled with fear of the sparking wires
On an electrical beach
Plagued by the thought
That a bird cannot smile

<i>Why rent when you can own your own washer and dryer for $225 each? Put it on your Sears card!
Why rent when you can own your own washer and dryer for $225 each? Put it on your Sears card!
Put it on your Sears card!
Why rent when you can own your own washer and dryer for just $250 a month? Put it on your Sears card!
Why rent when you can own your own washer and dryer for $225 each? Put it on your Sears card!
Why rent?
Put it on your Sears card!</i>

Christmas isn't safe
Christmas isn't safe
Christmas isn't safe for animals

The Past Is a Grotesque Animal

Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse

Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)

Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider

Tim I Wish You Were Born a Girl

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Soft and squishy animated mammals
Tapping so lightly on their teeth with a gun
My god, are they cold?

Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe?
Is Christmas safe for animals?
Crippled with fear of the sparking wires 
On an electrical beach
Plagued by the thought
That a bird cannot smile

Christmas isn't safe
Christmas isn't safe
Christmas isn't safe for animals

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I only have one question...

Why rent, when you can own your own washer and dryer for only 225 each? Put it on your sears card!

I like the "Put it on your Sears card!" part.

Christmas doesn't really hurt animals. He's kinda joking. He's talking about Christmas being a commercial holiday. Commercial holidays are bad. Hurting animals is also bad. Got it?

Haha. Animals are "soft and squishy."
