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
