Russian Winter |
You followed the mouse into its hole and |
You decided that hole was home |
You didn’t care about the sea or |
The hairs on the backs of the necks |
Of your drowning family |
That was fifteen years ago |
Petroleum in your footprints and |
The dozen scars from past no-goes |
And the banks had all closed down |
The girls are dressed in razor wire |
To keep them from the rogues of this town |
We are X, we are Y |
But I won’t pretend that there’s no space |
In my chest for a Russian winter |
Now rains again |
You followed the mouse into its hole |
Now you’re never coming home |
Oh you’ve got a divining rod |
Between two scrawny legs makes me now |
Seem holier than thou |
X and Y, but I won’t pretend that there’s no space |
In my chest for a Russian winter |
Now rains again |
There’s rooms I can’t enter |
Snow covers everything |
Oh the worst thing is delivering this kind of tone |
To the X’s and Y’s of one of my own |
How did we get so old |
I’ll never get over this |
We are X, we are Y |
But I won’t pretend that there’s no space |
In my chest… |
