Eels Dead Of Winter

standing in the dark outside the house

breathing the cold and sterile air

well I was thinking how it must feel

to see that little light

and watch it as it disappears

and fades into

and fades into the night

so I know you're going pretty soon

radiation sore throat got your tongue

magic markers tattoo you

and show it whare to aim

and strangers break their promises

you won't feel any

you won't feel any pain

and the streets are jammed with cars

rockin' their horns

to race to the wire

of the unfinished line

thought that 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

standing here in the dark
