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
