Long Winter nights

Long Winter nights

Hunched over ma kerosene heater
Kero fumes up my nose
feeling kinda light headed
Same as sniffing glue
One side of my calf blistering
The other, icicles attached
Crazy hey!
My top half clothed like Michelin man
Sheesh my beds gotta be better than this
But hallelujah it's only 7.30
I can't sleep that long
But then I'm thinkin, hey we've gotten soft
My forefathers were sitting in some God forsaken cave
Chasing mammoth in the snow
live or die
Mostly die
No Macca's round the corner.
But hey
Funny how things turn full circle
That'll be us soon
Nothing surer
Just no mammoth to hunt
They're all extinct
Just like us
Sniffing kero will that too ya bro.
