Winter Of '96 Songtext / Lyric

First stepped off, off the aeroplane

I felt like I've been here before

Took a cabbie down, put a smile on my face

I felt like I could do more



How ace are buildings?

How big are the blocks?

Remind me of London

Stuck in a gridlock



Six foot deep, Bleaker Street

No one leaves town

People smile and look at the time

I look down, I can not see the ground

A man who reads the news says there's no crime



There's no one around

There wasn't a sound

There's nowhere to rest

A vision of death






Fell in love with it, I don't wanna leave it

Don't ever wanna go back

Skateboards are cheaper, won't do any bigger

Whole place stops for the winter of '96



Minus ten, 1pm east village time

I laugh at your Denver sea bar

Snowstorms, so we walks seventy blocks

Day like this, nothing seems too far



Get in the shot

I don't ask a lot

The weather was frozen

There's wasn't a good shot



Fell in love with it, I don't wanna leave it

Don't ever wanna go back

Skateboards are cheaper, won't do any bigger

Whole place stops for the winter of '96



Maybe I could be here a long time

Much longer than I plan to stay

No telling when they'll get the airport open

No telling when I'll get away

Trying to tell us nothing's wrong

Trying to get the fire back on

Never lost a day of fun

Silence in the heightened mass of?



How ace are buildings?

How big are the blocks?

Remind of London

Stuck in a graveyard



Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa

Naa, naa, na na na naaaa

Naa, naa, naa, na na naaa, naaa

Naa, naa, na, naow
