The Rosebuds - Blackout Choir Lyrics
The leaves around us start to swirl on Christmas morningThey're running circles round our bed up thru the chimney smokeAnd all the lights have all gone off without a warning, warning warningThe owls lay quiet in their homes inside the oak treesWe're writing backwards in the snow, the smell of kerosineAnd we were trying to get up, but I was falling, falling, back to sleepFalling back to sleepAnd all the lovers on the rugs, trying to stay warmThey're holding hands, forgetting words, and stumbling down the hallsAnd everyone is cheering up without trying trying tryingAnd everyone is looking up outside their windows windows windowswindows
