Winter Coats

(album: Surprise - 1990)

Discarded, left behind
Paper-cups and sour wine
Candlewax, tablecloth
Try to wash it won't come off
Ticket stubs and movie scenes
Dustin Hoffman has gangrene
Ferris wheel in the park
City lights after dark

Well I'm going home
When I find the girl
Makes me forget
What I should have done

In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter lives are falling fast in line
The words make sense
But they don't seem to rhyme

Rising tide, ocean breeze
Crashing waves, asking please
Listen to the radio
Singing with the songs you know
Time passing, memory fades
Forget about the plans you made
Decisions wrap that coat up tight
And keep it safe from the light

Well I'm going home
When I find the girl
Makes me forget
What I should have done

In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter lives are falling fast in line
The words make sense
But they don't seem to rhyme

Well I'm going home
Where I'll find the girl
And we won't forget
What we should have done

In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter coats
In winter lives are falling fast in line
The words make sense
But they don't seem to rhyme

They don't seem to rhyme
They don't seem to rhyme
They don't seem to rhyme
