Verse 1
Em
It's getting darker and it starts to rain
The lone lieutenant, old and grey
Lies in a hole for
Christmas
Day
He fed his fear on holy beer
Smell passed on, sold in the years
Are you ready for this

storm?

Em
Look at the old brown ragdoll
With her hair cut up and down
Lying by the burning wall
Holes in his shoes, both of them
Holes in everything, all of it
Are you ready for the storm?
The corporal lived in
Compton town
He doesn't know they knocked it down
His mother sent him a leg of pork
And dressed it to 1984
Are you any warmer?
Wiser?

Em
And are you ready for the storm?
The old man comes and goes
C
Em
all night
There's a trash can painted white
So now you can eat,
although you're blind
You were a private only
C
Em
for a week
Holes in your health, holes in your hope,
C
Em
and holes in your meat
It's all going blurred,
it wobbles, it creeps
C
Em
It's falling in half,
C

it's falling away
It's snowing

It's going
