Lyrics

Entrances uncovered
Street signs you never saw
Entrances delivered
Courtesy winter

Entrances uncovered
Street signs you never saw
You've got manny in the library
Working off a hangover 3.30
You get the spleen at 3.15
But it's 3.30

The mad kid walked the left side, towards me
His mother was a cleaning lady. she had a large black dog
And this day, on the road, the mad kid said to his mother
"Give me the lead, give me the lead, give me the lead!"

I just walked past the alcoholics dry-out unit and the can on the
Lawn, was littered with cans of barbican. that's an alcohol-free
Lager. well, anyway, there was a feminist austin maxi parked
Outside, with anti-nicotine anti-nuclear crap on the side

Well anyway, I digress. the mad kid, two days before, had said
To me, "look boy, I'll take both of you on, I'll take both of you
On." he had just got back from the backwards kids' party. he
Had a black duffle-coat, and a black party archbishop's hat
With three bars for a skull-and-crossbones. and this day he
Looked like the victim of a pogrom

Entrances uncovered
Street signs you never saw
Entrances delivered
Courtesy winter
Courtesy winter

Please take this medallion
Please wear this medallion
There's no sign of a cross here
Grab your coat and put it on
Courtesy winter
Courtesy winter
Two white birds cross the sky
Look like krakens at stork times
That little......makes me tremble
Ah! courtesy winter

The mad kid had 4.75 lights
And the sign of genius is 4 lights
Now most of us have 3 lights
Except some slates who have 2 lights
And there's one exception
There's 1 light
And that is the science law

Courtesy winter
Courtesy winter

Got it all wrong for me
And it's a fallacy
And it does not stand up
It is the one science law
And is the statement of greats

Winter
Courtesy winter

Entrances uncovered
Street sighs you never saw
All entrances delivered
Courtesy winter
