Here Comes the Snow

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
