lyrics

There is a stiff wind
Rattling the windows on my front door
The sound as it blows
A long and hollow moan
Makes me more frightened than
I've ever been before
There is a cheshire grin
On a politician
His faded face is a-watching from the wall
But just as sure as he ain't runnin' anymore
I know that pride always comes just right before the fall

<chorus>
And the fall comes before the dead of winter sets the score
There ain't no plow gonna come and clear your road
And the Devil clicks his heels
While God's still spinning his wheel
Better bundle up boy you'll die out there in the cold

There is a blood stain on my windowpane
I keep it there to remind me everyday
Whether you go sleeping in your bed or eating your own lead
Yer gonna be food for something or someone anyway
There is a blank page at the end of our age
Our voices cry from scribbles on the wall
But we still linger on
With our novels and our songs
I tip my hat to the ones who didn't survive the fall

<chorus>
