 Opening: , , , , , /,

Here comes wintertime

 Like a long and dark night

Man, I feel so unprepared this time

No stored heat just the smell of defeat and deceit

 Rolled in to one and then put on repeat

I really need to get a hold of myself If I’m to get back on my feet

 ’Cause this year I got my heart broken

 Fears awoken, my beliefs shaken and my dignity taken

 But am I wrong to assume that the world is absurd

 When religion comes first and knowledge comes third

 And there’s a fast river

 that’s a slow killer and a cause for bonuses at Phizer

 But advice her that she won’t get her pills if we don’t pay her bills

 And it’s a sad story but greed is our top skill

So far so good

 Except for a vague feeling that I should

Not expect calls, family dinners, long vacations or pictures on bedroom walls

These are things I really don’t need at all

 I just hope she’s a heartbraker,

 Soulshaker and a lovemaker or a damn good faker

 ’Cause I really don’t care about these little things

 That make a household work or makes her things rings

 And it’s a long story with no glory

 Just mistaken for an undertaking that doesn’t need replicating

Oh, these are things I really don’t need at all

Interlude

 ’Cause this year I got my heart broken

 Fears awoken, my beliefs shaken and my dignity taken

 But am I wrong to assume that the world is absurd

 When religion comes first and knowledge comes third

 And there’s a fast river

 that’s a slow killer and a cause for bonuses at Phizer

 But advice her that she won’t get her pills if we don’t pay her bills

 And it’s a sad story but greed is our top skill
