JEFF ROSENSTOCK LYRICS

"Snow Charges"

There's a patch of ice shimmering under the sky
On the south corner of Bushwick on the residential side
And I'm afraid I'll slip

Most days when it's cloudy and all nights I stay inside
But it's 2:30 on New Year's Day and outside it's looking bright
And I could use some chips
And a bottle of soda
For my quest to rescue Zelda

Trying to be brave I touched the puddle to my tongue
And within a millisecond the bottom of my face went numb
And no one on the street knew anything was wrong

So, I tried to wave my arms to find that they were frozen too
And I tried to run away; my legs felt like they were stuck in glue
And I started to hear a storm

Through my ears poured freezing rain
And it froze my freezing brain

A handful of neighbors gathered underneath the awning
Of the laundromat 200 feet from the front door of my building
And it smacked me like a pinball
And it crushed me like a wrecking ball
I was swallowed by a cold duvet and the kids are gonna have a
SNOW DAAAAAAYYY!!!

I couldn't bear to find out how the story was gonna end
So I closed my eyes and went to sleep and no one found me dead
'Cause everybody stayed inside 'til March

And a patch of flowers grew out of the concrete where I lied
Some boy picked a dandelion to give to a girl he liked
And she gave him a kiss
That warmed his lonely heart
Now they hold each other tight
And stay in on winter nights
