Ed Scissor - TTIW lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't let the heatwave cloud your thoughts Tell them it's winter, make it real Winter shades of pale grey, ebb away the ever-dumbing lunar rays As centigrades dip past freezing Chaos on the grid patterns, gristle in your jugular mainline The sprawling apparatus pumping blood in a fake life Of comfort and good will, life at a standstill Come for the fossil fuels, back to the wood mill I saw the colours seep out of your plum cheeks, crimson Eyes sallow, eyes sunk, hands full The litres of blood cup the diminishing life source Dripping on the snow covered tracks that the car made Cover the sun spots with tarpaulin shacks on the tundra Lost in the voice tone Bodies in the copper like falsified prophets in a full star Flare popping blanks at the last man standing in the whiteness One man prophet at the glacier Solace in the flames erupt, the hope lost globally Two dull gem stones staring at the constellations clashing in the night sky Eruptions in the galaxy, the galaxy burns Deeper than the fear mongers fathomed or learned A word for word, note for note Nostradamus guided entry, the fact it was churned Conveyor belts lash out the work [Chorus] God dropped man on a planet on his lonesome He saw the light in the luminous sky Grow great then fade quick, sparks on a cinder Dark on a vista, tell them it's winter First stop snowfall, second stop eyes formed Third stop winter, last stop misery First drops landed, second drops froze On the third moon cycle with a last lost luminary X2 [Verse 2] Roadk** suppers on another bleak evening Snowfall covers every isotope breathing Tell them it's winter, tell them it's freezing Tear them apart limb for limb from the feasting Rapturous episodes tilter the axis Bandage the steel toe, capture the stalker Stack up the tyres, watch them squeal in the night The fumes grow blonde, the vessels wade in the water He felt life in the depth of his ba**sacks Strides of a madman searching for life forms, lustful Signs of a life source scratched in the tracks Pebbled dashed, pepper zigzags panicking But nothing, end at the start point Stars in a dark sky laugh as the planet glows dayglo Single link missing in a withering blood chain Winter on the glacial mud plains Missed the last man walking cross the ice cold plains In the hope that the sun might bless his face But the white hour stayed strong He couldn't see his hand outstretched an arms length away Just shy of his nose, frostbitten and bleeding White wing cascade so bitter this evening Dark day after dark day in this dark place Darkness breeds in this bed made of treason [Chorus] God dropped man on a planet on his lonesome He saw the light in the luminous sky Grow great then fade quick, sparks on a cinder Dark on a vista, tell them it's winter First stop snowfall, second stop eyes formed Third stop winter, last stop misery First drops landed, second drops froze On the third moon cycle with a last lost luminary X2
