"Black Santas" (Original)

If you want to hear Hank talking about how to get the Paper Towns compilation, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJiy9xBuZHI

I'm wearing the Threadless Haikus shirt! http://www.threadless.com/?streetteam=laurenmyrtle

This song is really difficult to play, but I tried. Lyrics:

Angela, it's been a great five weeks
But there is something I should say
No, I'm not breaking up with you
Everything's perfectly okay

I know you've been wondering what is up
And why I haven't taken you home
Before you walk inside my door
There is something you should know

I've just gotta tell you
I'll give it a shot
Now I'm gonna show you
Exactly what I've got...

I've got a house full of black santas,
Black santas on the walls
And everywhere you turn
Those black santas deck the halls
And later when we make out
You should watch out because
We'll be watched by twenty-four hundred eyes
of twelve hundred black santas

Black santas line the windowsills and mantel
They hang from the stairway banister
You can't escape from the one in the guest bathroom
We've even got a pez dispenser

I'm living in an official Santa landmark
It's an embarrassing fact
I'll be surprised if you come to visit
And my love life stays intact

Please don't be turned off now
The fault here isn't mine
My parents are so proud of
Their year long Christmas shrine

Chorus

They see you when you're sleeping
They know when you're awake
They'll see us when we're hooking up
And when I masturbate
So you'd better not pout
You'd better not cry
If you go running out
I'll understand why...

Dear lauren,

I'm starting a Nerdfighter Podcast with some friends and we're going to do a chapter by chapter type thing for Paper Towns, i was wondering if we could use part of this song as the intro to that segment? Thanks! You're awesome!

[devilishlypure]

@IDontLoveJessica Sure!

[21Larz]

is that an ovation you are playing? I THINK YOU HAVE THE GUITAR I USED TO HAVE

[devilishlypure]

@21Larz Nope, it's a Takamine.

NERDFIGHTERS!

The first thing I noticed; the Across the Universe poster. You are officially awesome. :)

[usedtomakemesmile]

Your posters are magnificent.

[pidgeonman]

A year after buying this on iTunes I'm still listening to it, so good. Merry Christmas :D

[chickwiththeuke]

So I kind of love you now and I'm subscribing.

OKAY YES

[scribbler43]

I noticed you have a "V for Vendetta" poster behind you in this video! <3

Nice way to get way ahead ahead of the game for TFioS reference.

[synchrogirl978]

@devilishlypure Thanks! :D

[MusiqueLeTeddyZ]

So, this by far, is the most coolest thing I've ever heard. Thank you for taking your time in making this video and creating this song because this is truly beautiful and is one of the most magnificent pieces ever created. I'm glad this was brought to a spotlight :) Tremendous amount of Awesomness. Truly, well done.

I'm incredibly bored and trying to learn some of this on my guitar app because I don't have a real guitar and don't know how to play one anyway, so every time I click back to the start you go "Let's try again! :D" and I'm all like "Okay! :D"

I used to love this song, then I bought the book, now I love the song even more!!
