[Verse]
Is that a shadow in the chimney’s throat
Something’s breathing cold and slow
Not the wind not the snow not the cheer I know
The clock ticks loud like it’s alive
Silent night’s got teeth tonight
[Prechorus]
Hooves or claws above my head
Santa’s late or is he dead
[Chorus]
Reindeer on the roof
Or something cruel
Antlers or fangs
Truth or a ruse
Reindeer on the roof
What’s the truth
[Verse 2]
Creaking boards like bones that bend
The fire dies the dark descends
No jingling bells just whispers thin
The milk curdles the cookies rot
Something’s watching something’s not
[Prechorus]
Hollow laughter echoes deep
Who’s awake who dares to peek
[Chorus]
Reindeer on the roof
Or something cruel
Antlers or fangs
Truth or a ruse
Reindeer on the roof
What’s the truth
