Last winter there was more snow than we could remember
More snow than you could shake a stick at, not that you would
Last winter all the trees were dismembered
In an ice storm but it left things looking good
Last winter the rafters cracked in the attic
Car tires popped and engines stopped
The televisions were all snow and static
Little birds trying to migrate died in mid flight and their frozen bodies
Dropped onto the runways of the airports and the pilots looked around
At the rain of tiny birds that was covering the ground
And they all said it's too cold and strange outside today to fly
Last winter we played cards even though I hate cards
And we drank a lot 'cause, well, that's what you do
Last winter feeling good and getting along was hard
But you said what's done is done and I said I guess that's true but baby
There's no need to ever go outside if we make the right decisions now
We could stay in here all winter and let the city bring the plow
To dig us out and by then we'll be thin, and all in love again
