Eels - Dead of Winter Lyrics

Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air

Well I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it disappears
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 strangers break their promises
You won't feel any, you won't feel any pain

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockin' their horns to 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 wanna stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true and I will not fade into
Fade into the night

Standing here in the dark
