winter winds
Misdirection pours out your mouth.
Your thoughts go north while your tongue heads south.
Time spills all over the ground.
Winter just blew into town.
A debt repaid is a new debt made.
You've forgotten how to give first aid.
You're only serious when you're playing around.
Winter just blew into town.
Your song is short but it keeps on repeating.
“Victory is yours just keep on retreating.”
The entrance to the freeway can’t be found.
Winter just blew into town.
You play the same song all day long.
I’m drowning in a world of song.
Ashes to ashes, sound to sound.
Winter just blew into town.
Children play in a wading pool.
Adults play you for a fool.
You don’t need water to drown.
Winter just blew into town.
Trying to stop a backward slide.
Trying to cross over to the other side.
We’re in reverse gear on a merry-go-round.
Winter just blew into town.
Fifty-fifty forgot how to dance.
What’s the odds you’ll take the chance.
You're leading me to a sacrificial mound.
Winter just blew into town.
An end game forgets its start.
A diamond ring can’t hear its heart.
There’s feelings on the loose; unleash the hounds.
Winter just blew into town.
We walk together to the door.
You say, “It’s time to settle scores.”
And imitating your last breath
Give me the kiss of death.
Now, in my spring that kiss pounds.
Winter just blew into town.
