Of the darkness in men's minds, what can you say?
That wasn't marked by history or the TV news today
He gets away with murder, the blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot of the heavy heavy snow

It comes and goes
It comes and goes

His grandpa loved an empire, his sister loved a thief
And Lindsey loved the ways of darkness beyond belief
Girls in chilly blouses, the blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot of the heavy heavy snow

It comes and goes
It comes and goes

The cops don't seem to care for derelicts or ladies of the night
They're weeds for yanking out of sight
If you're smart or rich or lucky, maybe you'll beat the laws of man
But the inner laws of spirit and the outer laws of nature, no man can
No, no man can

There lives a wolf in Lindsey that raids and runs
Through the hills of Hollywood and the downtown slums
He gets away with murder, the blizzards come and go
The stab and glare and buckshot of the heavy heavy snow
It comes and goes
It comes and goes
