Snowshakes
Got a crick in my neck
Spring in my back
A prick in the bed
And he’s ruinin’ my day
Feeling bereaved
Late afternoon sleep
Sometimes the drugs don’t keep you goin’
All of the lights
Where did they go?
Can you keep the door cracked?
Keep the kitchen light on?
Let the radio go on
Laughter I’m long gone
Keep the kitchen light on
So I feel home again
Snowshakes oh I’m shivering
I’m seeing it all but I feel the pull
It’s raining out here while I leave you to dry
I’m drowning outside
I’m drowning out…side
I don’t feel so well
I don’t feel sooooo weellll
Snowshakes Snowshakes oh I’m shivering
You can see it all but I feel the pull
It’s raining out here while I leave you to dry
I’m drowning outside
