snow globe

shake me, turn me upside down
be my angel from above
shake me, spin me round and round
i'll be a snow globe for your love

i'm a glittered evergreen
sticking out of a frozen plastic ground
surrounded
by little pvc figurines
motionless and sound
their conjoined feet are elmered down
we lie in wait til you come 'round

shake me, turn me upside down
be my angel from above
shake me, spin me round and round
i'll be a snow globe for your love

i'm a muted malamute
in the middle of the same two packs a day
waiting
for the codger in the paint-chipped boots
to give the call to pull the sleigh
through yellowed water and decay
it's christmas every single day

guitar solo

i bet some day that you'll lose your grip
and i can join you in your world
i hope and pray that your hand will slip
and i'll come crashing down
i'll come smashing down
i'll come splashing down

shake me, turn me upside down
be my angel from above
shake me, spin me round and round
i'll be a snow globe for your love

end.
