Snowball In Hell Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

Avalanche or roadblock 

i was a snowball in hell 

avalanche or roadblock 

a jailer trapped in his cell 

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry 

if it wasn't for disappointment 

i wouldn't have any appointments 

Side effect or drug trip 

don't tease me with all of your might 

side effect or drug trip 

my panacea's in a xerox shop 

Have a nice day, you want it when? 

have a nice day, have a nice day 

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. how long you been here, joe? 

oh, i don't know, i guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. why do you ask? 

you must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income. 

oh... uh... i'm doing all right. i could do better, but... ohahaha i get it paul. back on that old "time is money" kick, right? 

not back on it, joe, still on it. 

Avalanche or roadblock 

i was a snowball in hell 

avalanche or roadblock 

a jailer trapped in his cell 

money i owe, money-iy-ay 

money i owe, money-iy-ay 

Avalanche or roadblock 

i was a snowball in hell
