Freeze Tag Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
[Verse 2]
In the dimming diamonds
Scattering in the park
In the tickling
And the trembling
Of freeze tag
In the dark
[Verse 3]
We play that we're actors
On a movie screen
I will be Dietrich
And you can be Dean
[Verse 4]
You stand
With your hand
In your pocket
And lean against the wall
You will be Bogart
And I will be
Bacall
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
[Verse 2]
In the dimming diamonds
Scattering in the park
In the tickling
And the trembling
Of freeze tag
In the dark
[Verse 3]
We play that we're actors
On a movie screen
I will be Dietrich
And you can be Dean
[Verse 4]
You stand
With your hand
In your pocket
And lean against the wall
You will be Bogart
And I will be
Bacall
[Chorus]
And we can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
[Verse 5]
Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry
You and me
Do you see
Where I've been hiding
In this hide-and-seek?
[Verse 1]
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime, wintertime
Wintertime, wintertime
[Chorus]
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
And we can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
[Verse 5]
Slow fade now to black
Play me one more game
Of chivalry
You and me
Do you see
Where I've been hiding
In this hide-and-seek?
[Verse 1]
We go to the playground
In the wintertime
The sun is fading fast
Upon the slides into the past
Upon the swings of indecision
In the wintertime
Wintertime, wintertime
Wintertime, wintertime
[Chorus]
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
We can only say yes now
To the sky, to the street, to the night
