Cannonball Statman - Frostbite lyrics

Eli sat by the window With his fingers on the table All the brains paper pencils circled 'round him Tried to zero in Mental image of the fretboard on his right hand caught his eye Like the sunbeam from the window When the gla** hit his face It made sixteen cuts above his jaw It was said He was dead He remains on two inch tape In the storm of poison that rode South through Yonkers Beat Manhattan Like a skull beats its mirror Did you see that? Hey there The black coat and the white hair Frostbite is in the air I'm not afraid of that man I'm not afraid of the beasts who k**ed him I'm not afraid of the box I live in Or the holes I sleep in I'm afraid of the bleeding in my brain And the rusted metal in my chest When the gla** hit my face It shot eighteen years of energy out of a cannon Crystal said When I'm dead I'll be remembered by my friends As a machine so efficient I was almost living and breathing Did you see that? Hey there The black coat and the white hair Frostbite is in the air Mental image of the steel strings on my right hand struck a chord Like the electric man behind the wall And his hand hit my face It sent raging up my ribcage Sparrow said We're all dead And there must be something wrong in my head When I shot out of that cannon I was almost living and breathing Did you see that? Hey there The black coat and the white hair Frostbite is in the air
