The last thing I want to do is hurt you, As I walked through the open door, But the machete in my hand is heavy, then you’re lying on the cold floor,
The images of quiet city streets speak, Of cold and snowy scenes far to bleak, No midwinter wonderland of many sales, No excitedly placed footprints left in trails,
