Overwintered
Teeth chatter
Automatically
A beat clicking double-time
To the crunch of snow
An animal
Licks a beater
A northern flicker
Clucks a whimper
A beep goes off inside
Is it time?
Or just a timer?
Decalcomania
Ironed on our hides by the
Scarlet fever-stricken
Two-bit hypocritical
Neopuritan-tan-tans
Turning on a dime, a dime, a dime
What are they?
A little more
Than kin
And less than kind
We live in the same
But we run on
Different
Time, time, time
You are safe
You are sound
You are safe
You are sound
Ooh
I feel your frequency
Resonate at my core
Enkindle my extremities
Echo through my bones
Hiccup out its tones
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm-mmmm-mm-mm-mm
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm-mmmm-mm-mm-mm
We face apocalypses every day
And fumble stricken phrases
We ball up to play
When we feel forlorn
Just keep peeling those little oranges
They keep stealing, we keep peeling
Stuck on an uneven keeling
Every great and snowy egret's
Speaking of my evening grossness
Every evening grosbeak's
Speaking of my great and snowy egress
Even if we deviate
Even if we deviate
The ice rink's set to counterclockwise
There's no exit 'til we skate
I lurch along the verge
A strawberry-less frozen biscuit
My flimsy figure zero traps
A miraculous lemniscate
When the intercom comes through
I think I've lost my refound calling
Oh, winter tanager
You help me walk but you leave me crawling
You are a cardinal
You are a cardinal
And I should be so lucky
As to be a part of you at all
You are safe
You are sound
You are safe
You are sound
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm-mmmm-mm-mm-mm
Oooh-mm
Oooh-mm-mmmm-mm-mm-mm
You bring the tropics to these chilly parts
The contrast shocks my system
Chilblains swell upon my heart
Automatically
A beat clicking double-time
To the crunch of snow
An animal
Licks a beater
A northern flicker
Clucks a whimper
A beep goes off inside
Is it time?
Or just a timer?
Decalcomania
Ironed on our hides by the

Neopuritan-tan-tans

And less than kind

But we run on

Time, time, time
You are safe
You are sound
You are safe
You are sound
Ooh
