[grand piano intro] [instrumental] i read it in the paper ´bout a man in lancaster he shot a hole in his temple just because he won a car and somewhere else in this world a mother cries for her dying child and i wonder why there has to be so much pointless tragedy i saw a face on mtv belonged to someone i can´t remember she said she´d sold a million she had expected three broken toys two weeks after christmas and children crying to get new ones batteries not included somehow i always knew that winter kills so softly and life becomes so truly dark and cold [grand piano outro]
