Cooped up and snowbound
With nowhere to go
I tug on my memory for relief
And a thousand odd feelings
Stain my blanked-out skies
Both joy and a little grief
And I curse the cold
And I curse these streets
And I curse my fears
And I curse my defeats
The good and the bad
The happy and the sad
All the living and the dead
It will stay with me
For eternity
My thoughts are a tornado
In my head
Wound up and torn down
I hide in my room
While the snowplows scrape and screech
Nowhere to go
And it's twenty below
Once more I go unto the breach
And I curse my hell
And I curse my hands
I curse my world
And all it demands
'Round and 'round
They spin 'round and 'round
They grow in me like a weed
'Round and 'round
They spin 'round and 'round
But where do they ever lead
And I curse my folly
And I curse my disease
I curse all the people
Who do just as they please
