Dead of Winter Lyrics

hazardsinc@aol.com
This is one of my favourite eels songs, if not THE favourite. It's best done on
the acoustic, as it is done on the album.
Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air
And I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it dissapears
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 where to aim
And stranger break their promises
You won't feel any
You won't feel any pain.
And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockings their horns
To the 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 want to stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And I will not
Fade into
Fade into the night
Standing her in the dark
And that just about it.
