They Might Be Giants Lincoln Snowball In Hell



Avalanche or roadblock
I was a snowball in hell
Avalanche or roadblock
A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
If it wasn't for disappointment
I wouldn't have any appointments

Side effect or drug trip
Don't tease me with all of your might
Side effect or drug trip
My panacea's in a xerox shop

Have a nice day, you want it when?
Have a nice day, have a nice day

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. how long you been here, joe?
Oh, i don't know, i guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. why do you ask?
You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.
Oh... uh... i'm doing all right. i could do better, but... ohahaha i get it paul. back on that old "time is money" kick, right?
Not back on it, joe, still on it.

Avalanche or roadblock
I was a snowball in hell
Avalanche or roadblock
A jailer trapped in his cell
Money i owe, money-iy-ay
Money i owe, money-iy-ay

Avalanche or roadblock
I was a snowball in hell


Notes
The frank o'toole demo version adds more of the spoken dialogue ad nauseum as follows:

Okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay let's
Okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay let's
Okay, okay
Okay, okay, okay let's

Avalanche or roadblock
I was a snowball in hell
Avalanche or roadblock
A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
If it wasn't for disappointment
I wouldn't have any appointments

Did i affect your drug trip
Don't tease me with all of your might
Did i affect your drug trip
You threw my wallet in the wishing well

Have a nice day, you want it when?
Have a nice day, have a nice day

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning. how long you been here, joe?
Oh, i don't know, i guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. why do you ask?

Avalanche or roadblock
I was a snowball in hell
Avalanche or roadblock
A jailer trapped in his cell

Money's all broke, and food's going hungry
If it wasn't for disappointment
I wouldn't have any appointments

Avalanche or roadblock
Yes, i was a snowball in hell
I was a snowball in hell

Not back on it, joe, still on it.
Not back on it, joe, still on it.
Not back on it, joe, still on it.
