Winter Lyrics - The Fiery Furnaces

Winter 

( The fall Cover / Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One LP ) 

Entrances uncovered 

Street signs you never saw 

All entrances delivered 

Courtesy winter 

Entrances uncovered 

Street signs you never saw 

All entrances delivered 

Courtesy winter 

The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me 

He was about seven 

His mother was a cleaning lady 

She had a large black dog 

And the mad kid said 

"Gimme the lead 

Gimme the lead 

Gimme the lead" 

I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house 

The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican 

There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside 

With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side 

On the inside and they didn't even smoke 

Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me 

"I'll take both of you on, 

I'll take both of you on" 

And then he seemed the young one 

He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat 

With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones 

He'd just got back from the backward kids' party 

Anyway then he seemed the young one 

But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom 

Entrances uncovered 

Street signs you never saw 

All entrances delivered 

Courtesy winter 

Entrances uncovered 

Street signs you never saw 

All entrances delivered 

Courtesy winter
