Peter Mulvey - Black Snow Lyrics
There's a right turn somewhere that can take you to the wrong placeSomeone you don't know can start stepping on your faceThere's a left turn somewhere that can take you from the smokeBut someone stole the street sign and the traffic light is brokenThere's an upturn in the money, still everyone's downsizing'Til we'd sell our shoes for a job, and similar compromisingThere's a wrong turn somewhere someone made a long time agoSo we sit here in this grey place and watch it fill up with black snowThere's a fool on your screen and he's smiling as he tells youHow your life will be much better if you buy the things he sells youThere's a voice in your head, that says this is not so butThere's a sinking feeling as you watch your credit card bills growThere's a missing piece of information somewhereHow can someone as smart as you areGet caught up in such a simple snareThere's a vein in your temple, there's a fear of letting goThere's a window, there's your tv, there's a waiting bank of black snowThere's a can of spray paint; get it in your handThere's a rock there's a gun, there's a street, should you take a standThere's a little girl who's lost, there's an old man with no moneyThere's a reason why you cannot see why any of this is funnyThere's a dozen books in your room, there's a world outside your doorThere's a billion hungry people;There's your roof, and there's your floorThere's a place in your soul where the winter cannot goIf you're lucky you can get thereAnd get away from the black snow
