lyrics

We're rolling up the backyard
into an army of snow soldiers
We’ve got us a winter war
to prepare for

There’s trace amounts
of cinnamon
in all that we say
You’re painted like
a prism in the light
of the faux fir we decorate

Christmas spins under the needle
the weather gift-wraps the town
Winter is the great insulator
the music hangs around

There’s trace amounts
of cinnamon
in all that we say
you’re painted like
a prism in the light
of the faux fir we decorate

Green and red and gold and silver
what a pretty war

December's changing streets to valleys
I climb into your ice-capped house
Where the hot water screams,
begs to turn tea
