Black Snow — текст песни (Peter Mulvey)

There`s a right turn somewhere that can take you to the wrong place
Someone you don`t know can start stepping on your face
There`s a left turn somewhere that can take you from the smoke
But someone stole the street sign and the traffic light is broken
There`s an upturn in the money, still everyone`s downsizing
`Til we`d sell our shoes for a job, and similar compromising
There`s a wrong turn somewhere someone made a long time ago
So we sit here in this grey place and watch it fill up with black snow
There`s a fool on your screen and he`s smiling as he tells you
How your life will be much better if you buy the things he sells you
There`s a voice in your head, that says this is not so but
There`s a sinking feeling as you watch your credit card bills grow
There`s a missing piece of information somewhere
How can someone as smart as you are
Get caught up in such a simple snare
There`s a vein in your temple, there`s a fear of letting go
There`s a window, there`s your tv, there`s a waiting bank of black snow

There`s a can of spray paint; get it in your hand
There`s a rock there`s a gun, there`s a street, should you take a stand
There`s a little girl who`s lost, there`s an old man with no money
There`s a reason why you cannot see why any of this is funny
There`s a dozen books in your room, there`s a world outside your door
There`s a billion hungry people;
There`s your roof, and there`s your floor
There`s a place in your soul where the winter cannot go
If you`re lucky you can get there
And get away from the black snow
