lyrics

They're killing accountants on Wall Street
Get the ones writing it down
and Lazarus, wide-eyed and silent
He's sitting there, taking it in
With eyes you won't soon forget, hollow
Leather-faced frozen and scared
Can't figure out which way, the door's closed
and winter is settling in
and winter is settling in

Was it too much for him to take it all in
All at once at the same time
There's too many hands stretched out broken
They save the one wants to die
It's getting too cold and the pipes froze
and she don't know where he has been
Can't figure out which way, the door's closed
and winter is settling in
and winter is settling in
