lyrics

Snow is falling down,
all the shops are closed
and you’re
stranded all alone.

God,
well they took all the heating oil.
Set the
stove so the cash will burn
and all of the ice will boil
(and flood all the land);
in this wreck of world,
where everything has a price,
and there’s nothing to do
but curse all this ice,
and freeze.

Lord
(lord, lord),
take me
home.

“God,
where are you?”
No answer from the skies
as the pauper dies.
