[Verse 1]
Snow in San Anselmo
The deer cross by the lights
The mission down in old San Rafael
A madman looking for a fight
A madman looking for a fight

[Verse 2]
The massage parlor's open
The clientele come and they go
The classic music station
Plays in the background soft and low
Plays in the background soft and low

[Verse 3]
The silence round the Cascades
The ice crisp and clear
The beginnings of the opera
Seem to suddenly appear
Seem to suddenly appear

[Verse 4]
The pancake house is always crowded
Open 24 hours of every day
And if you suffer from insomnia
You can speed your time away
You can speed your time away
[Verse 5]
Snow in San Anselmo
My waitress, my waitress, my waitress said it was coming down
Said it hadn't happened, hadn't happened in over thirty years
But it was laying on the ground
But it was laying on the ground
