Oh it's, minus 17 below and falling
I can feel the ice in the air
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I saw it, coming in the way that the wind was
throwing all the garbage cans around
and spilling all our dirty laundry in the street
now I just don't think that I could ever go back
to when the neighbourhood was clean and in a coma
Now the shadows, we've been keeping locked away in closets
are running all naked down the street
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
the cold brings a little bit of life to our cheek bones
and snow laughs under our feet
as we trip on all of our dirty laundry
I just don't think that I could ever go back
to where our closets were full and noisy
there's no way that love can hide forever beneath human scars
