Walser in the Snow



Walser in the Snow
Music & Lyrics: Walser in the Snow 
Pictures: Carnival of Souls (1962)

when i’m walking down the street
with a cigarette and a grin
it’s pretty clear that nobody likes me
but this comes as no surprise
and i have no alibis
it’s pretty clear that nobody’s like me
but if you really want to know
why we’re special and you’re not

spending sunny days at work
don’t you think it’s quite absurd
just because they give you the money
dating girls and having sex
doing drugs and drink to death
that is how you get the word funny
but if you really want to know
why we live and why you don’t

so everywhere i go
i see walser in the snow
a poet in the mud while all the people come and go
walser in the snow
such a weird way to glow
and that’s why we insist, yes we insist it’s not a show
not a show

when i’m walking down the street
with a cigarette and a grin
it’s pretty clear that nobody likes me
but this comes as no surprise
and i have no alibis
it’s pretty clear that nobody’s like me
but if you really want to know
why we’re special and you’re not

so everywhere i go
i see walser in the snow
a poet in the mud while all the people come and go
walser in the snow
such a weird way to glow
and that’s why we insist, yes we insist it’s not a show
not a show
not at all

this is not a show
this is not a show
this is not a show
this is not a show
not a show, not a show
