snowball - elbow

Tied this letter to the red balloon

Flew this letter off across the ruse

Along with all the plans I made

Ooh…

Over crippled cranes and twisted steel

Deadlines overgrown and missing wheels

I told you so communicate

Ooh…

Told you so

Told you so

The biggest of mistakes can be forgiven

But a snowball of little white lies will crush your house

From the razor wire in old Iraq

Oil is what you make the nation’s flag

Pray you never sleep again

Ooh…

Oh and laughable the crying shame

Oh the mark I made against your name

I hope this finds you less than sane

Ooh…

Told you so

Told you so

For you to think that history’s rewritten

You’d have to think the dead will be forgotten

Your snowball of little white lies has crushed our house

When the pills you take

No longer help you

You’re fading in your chair

And would’ve met him

We see the lightning

You hear the birdsong

You hear the voices you’ve been holding off for so long

Words around you

And then a hurricane

A hundred thousand souls

And everyone in pain

We’ll come and visit you

We’ll come and visit you

(Never sleep again)
