Screaming Through December

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

What a crew we made up, there was Faustus

Burnt out from playing too many bars

On the Jersey Shore

And Sammy, almost bald

From ironing her hair too much back in '64

And me, Phazon, out of phase

At least my temporary name for the day

All blown away and screaming

All blown away and screaming

All blown away and screaming

Through December

[Verse 2]

We crossed state lines, we was burning

Although the cold could freeze your hand

To the steel of a wheel

"Miami," just a cold-hearted word

From a warm, smiling man on a sign in a field

We laughed just to take up time

Hmm, the job was starting to dry

As we went screaming

As we went screaming

As we went screaming

Through December

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

"Quasar, Quasar," were the first words

I heard from Faustus all day

And giggling, he apologized

And then returned to flicking his blade

I sighed, bleary-eyed

And tried to remember the way

As we went screaming

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

A year does go by, what a difference

Twelve months can make

When you're living a hundred years in one

Sammy, she went home

And now she's living in a room with a gun

Faustus ate glass for an appetizer

And bled all over his synthesizer

As he went screaming

As he went screaming

As he went screaming

Through December

[Instrumental Outro]
