DEAD OF WINTER

standing in the dark outside the house, breathing in the cold and sterile air
well i was thinking how it must feel, to see that little light
and watch it as it dissapears, and fades into, and fades into the night
so i know you're going pretty soon
radiation sore throat got your tongue
magic markers tatoo you and show it where to aim
and strangers break their promices
you won't feel any, you won't feel any pain
and the steets are jammed with cars
rockin their horns to race to the wire
of the unfinished line
thought i'd forget all about the past
but it doesn't let me run too fast
and i just wanna stand outside
and know that this is right, and this is true, and i will not fade into, fade into the night
standin here in the dark
