Since Winter Is Coming

Since Winter Is Coming

While snow covers the broken world in death
and the fascist dictator steals old key
that opens the cracked door to our White House,
I eat pizza and huddle in thick coat
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

When I arrive on the horse with no name
I try to climb the steep stairway to heaven
but wander lost in Hotel California,
dancing with Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

I turn my collar to the cold and damp
while wearing the gold thorny crown I stole
and continue down six crooked highways
to build new home on the street with no name
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

Though we are nothing but dust in the wind
I take my face from ancient gallery
to play guitar on Desolation Row
where Jack Flash dances on the burning stage
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

Look to the sky where the stars fade away
and you will see me drive my flying car
above the labyrinth where Goblin King
keeps Lady Liberty locked in gold tower
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

Leaping from the dead apple tree, I ride
river boat past where tangerine trees glow
and carry Ophelia to hall of mirrors
where dead angels hide in the words of books
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

Although love is the seventh wave, I see
the moon rise bleeding over one tree hill
which shows us the way from the heart of darkness
through the maze of hope to his nowhere land
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.

Now when I fly your magic swirling ship
beyond the wall I built with broken skulls
I hold the spinning world within my hands
and eat the apple from her tree of life
since winter is coming to freeze my soul.
