letra de extraordinary dinner party - la dispute

morning after snow storm, stand in the silence
almost feel reborn all alone in the street
it’s a certain sort of stillness
when the quiet surrounds you
the only sound you shovel on concrete.
i remember those piles from the snow plows
always seemed much bigger back when i was a kid.
pushed all the snow to the end of the driveway
i was the only person up in the neighborhood
morning after snowstorm,
i turned the ignition and i started my car morning after snowstorm
i scr-ped off my windshields with the edge of a credit card
i remember that drive into work.
still can hear the voice coming over the radio
listen to our experts give the best tips
for the next time you entertain dinner guests.
i thought of the day, in a tie in the kitchen
i sat and i watched you put make-up on.
thought of the day in the bas-m-nt when i played house
i felt ashamed that i stayed in my head in the same place for so long
because i was afraid to change
but it’s not an excuse to stay!
morning after snowstorm
i climbed up on the snowbank and i stared at the neighborhood
morning after snowstorm
i think i finally understood what they meant when they said
there’s a calm after the storm.
saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma’s bookshelf
watched a woman walk her trash out to the street.
father alone of the highway
i heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work
saw my mother, saw how history loops around all of these moments,
and then i saw you!
in a dress there, with your eyes open wide to put make-up on
thought of the day in the bas-m-nt that i played house
and i felt ashamed
i’d ignored all the hands
that extended before and around me
because i was afraid to change,
but that’s not an excuse to stay
it’s not an excuse!
