|
Ain't it just like the times |
|
To play tricks on your mind |
|
You've seen so much, so soon |
|
You're already blind |
|
And when someone asks you how you're doing? |
|
Of course, you say you're doing fine |
|
Surrounded by wolves |
|
There's a baby in the rain |
|
Down the street there's a sparrow |
|
Circling a drain |
|
While a waitress mouths the words to a song |
|
That lobotomised her pain |
|
Oh, hey, la, oh |
|
Hey, la, oh |
|
Here comes the snow |
|
The future's always coming |
|
And it moves just like a fist |
|
Time takes the things you love |
|
And puts a ghost upon your lips |
|
When nothing really matters |
|
Nothing matters more than this |
|
Revolutions flicker out |
|
In the wars of all for me |
|
Follow an idea to its root |
|
And you'll eventually reach the sea |
|
Full of rusted parts and corpses |
|
And broken metaphors like these |
|
Oh, hey, la, oh |
|
Hey, la, oh |
|
Here comes the snow |
|
My eyes are on the wasteland |
|
The boiler room of humankind |
|
There's a toy piano playing |
|
And there's a memory in my mind |
|
Mom's humming in the kitchen |
|
Clothes are drying on the line |
|
Nightfall was upon us now |
|
All the trees were skeletons |
|
Closed my eyes and felt the sun's heat |
|
Disappear from on my skin |
|
And my thought now is could the world ever be |
|
As kind as I thought it was then? |
|
Oh, hey, la, oh |
|
Hey, la, oh |
|
Here comes the snow |
