Jonathan Coulton - Curl lyrics

Somewhere in the darkness There's a man they call The Skipper fast asleep And dreaming of gold He wakes before the sun comes Even though he'd rather stay in bed He curses the cold in Minnesota Why's it always so damn cold But he's got a job to do He does it for me and you And the red and the white and the blue Because he knows he's got to curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house) Curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house) His team is there and ready Though the coffee's warm, their breath hangs in the air They hit the ice No one's there to see it There's no press or paparazzi and that's OK But it'd be nice if someone noticed That they've all been working hard Pushing these rocks around Trying to gain some ground Got the keep the Canadians down And all they got to do is curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house) Curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house) Their lives outside are waiting But they give until they've given all they have They're dead on their feet The Skipper isn't certain But he thinks that maybe this could be the year When they defeat the world forever And they bring that medal home But now it seems years away He's taking it day by day When it comes he'll be ready to play That's why he knows he's got to curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house) Curl (Come on baby put the rock in the house)
