lyrics

that dog was raised by thieves
anyone could see
how fast he gnawed at me
-unconscious, unconscious

we are alive and stolen,
that is our excuse,
waiting for some handsome, secret avalanche
about to happen

don't bother fearing december
if you can't reach it anyway,
hold on to enchanted life if you can,
if you can

if you can
if you can
if you can

you'll canoe through the forest
when water runs high,
don't turn back, don't resist -you'll do fine

let the old men call you tiger,
cuz they might be the last ones who do

when they follow you,
it won't bother you,
you can just let it fall, let it roll

let the old men call you tiger,
cuz they might be the last ones who do

when they follow you,
it won't bother you,
you can just let it fall, let it roll

alt end chorus:

so enjoy your avalanche,
your spill is yours alone,
you can just
let it roll,
let it roll
