The Overcoat - Kid Dakota

I’ve been a bad case

Well, I am an intensive out-patient

Without scripts without pills

November was so cold coming down

And I, well I’m all alone

Watching the snow fall on the pines

And the smell, the smell of the stoves

Burning wood makes me miss better times

And I’m reading The Overcoat again

And I feel just like a clerk

Maybe better but more likely it’s worse

Nothing seems to work.

Semi’s from the mill

Are rolling by with freshly cut pine

They don’t stop for black ice

Leaving the lights in this mill town behind

And it’s New Years Eve

And there’s nothing to do and there’s no where to go

So i get a pass from my counsellor

To go walk in the snow

Maybe I’m going in circles again

But it’s hard to say

Cause my tracks keep on filling up with snow

And they fade away
