Winter Games by Superchunk
Winter Games lyrics
distract me, winter games
I was about to get out the saw
and cut a hole in the icy ice
all day we slip and slide and fall
I hear the wind piling up the leaves
all along the rock wall
and you, you're cracking jokes
and burning wood from last fall
now it never snows no more
only freezing dirty rain
oh no, it never snows
but it gets that smell like it might
just the same
put your cold hands on my head
like a blanket around my brain
wrap a blanket around my brain yeah
everything you wanted
more than you could handle
and the light that surrounded you
leaves you in the dark
staring at a candle
roll me over, say my name
I slept right through the winter games
wake me up, nothing's changed
I slept right through the winter games
well your helmet, it had no scars
we leave our best coats in bars
like ice fisherman lose cars
distract me, winter games
I was about to get out the saw
and cut a hole in the icy ice
right through to where you are
everything you wanted
more than you could handle
and the light that surrounded you
leaves you in the dark
staring at a candle
everything you wanted
more than you could handle
and the cup that you drank from
just leaves you drunk
and staring at a candle
roll me over, say my name
I slept right through the winter games
wake me up, nothing's changed
I slept right through the winter games
the winter games
