Deftonesis a platinum selling, Grammy award winning alternative rockband from Sacramento, California. Frontman Chino Moreno's poetic lyrics—described by a Time magazine critic as "furiously intelligent"—are often evocative, yet are sparse enough to allow for multiple interpretations. Moreno has cited Morrissey, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, The Cure's Robert Smith, and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahanamong his favorite singers, and beyond an occasional similarity in vocal technique, these singers' sweeping sense of drama and delicate vulnerability is often evident in Moreno's vocals. Deftones members have worked on several side projects, including Moreno's Team Sleepand drummer Abe Cunningam's Phallucy. Guitarist Stephen Carpenter works with a group called Kush, featuring members of Fear Factoryand Cypress Hill.

Christmas Lyrics

Deftones

ah caca, scale skin, left alone
revise me longing
my sister she's my waiting owl
don't stop believing

i'm just the last to kick the cup
you think you know me oh, just shut the fuck up
i keep my word cuz i'm bound to get it right
standin up tall, and i'm jack, i'm jackin, im bustin balls
to get back, and up again, i know my mind is set
why is you still talkin and the world just got to me today
oh, what we say, love and adore yea

my child your child, let him go
leave her believe her my sister she's a waiting owl
ya cant stop believing

i'm just the last to kick the cup
oh you dont know me oh, just shut the fuck up
I keep my word, cuz i'm around to get it right
standin up tall, and i'm jack, i'm jackin, i'm bustin balls
to get back, and up again, i know my mind is set
why is you still talkin and the world just got to me today
oh, what we say, love and adore
what's stolen, oh, when it's over
