From the recording The 1st Annual Martin Carlton Stunt Special Christmas Album
Lyrics
Standing at the precipice with snow still coming down, everything’s led up to this there’s no backing out now
Greg records this misled bliss he’s safely on the ground How’d I get here anyway, Oh yeah, I am that clown
There’s a rush and tingling that’s coming to get me like when Christmas Eve hits and you’re not quite ready
I’m almost ready to go, I’m almost ready to go
You’ve known your lifetime that there’s something incomplete burning bright or smoldering you know it’s not just the heat
A passion unfulfilled that needs more room to feed breaking through the walls of doubt and structured self-defeat
Christmas always brings us some hope and inspiration open up your mind to more than preparation
I’m getting ready to go, I’m getting ready to go
CHORUS: I’m Leaving This Christmas Tree Now I’ll be reaching out for the dreams I never found
Make me or break me but I simply have to go. This Christmas leap is for all who missed that boat.
I hope I’m ready to go, I hope I’m ready to go
I’ve always had this energy and feels for some creation but no one to guide me I seem the root of their frustration
The lonely Zephyr in a field of Queen Ann’s Lace gotta leave this field behind for a life with much less waste.
You’ll do it wrong before its right and that’s okay, blaze dead end trails make sure you grow from your mistakes
I’m just about to go, I’m just about to go
You may have no one to help you find the way. Just don’t hang ‘em up each time you lose your way
My thoughts and dreams since my earliest childhood trip I’m so much more today than just a crazy video clip
CHORUS: I’m ready here I go, I’m ready here I go, I’m ready here I go
