In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more25 people died shoveling snow
Have that done by somebody you hate
166 looters arrested, but waitI spent the blizzard of '78
On a commune in Northern Vermont
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want
Music was very much not allowed
So we we said "Hey kids, let's start a band"
Proof that Ganesh loves us
There was no tape deck at handThe first band I'd had was called "One and a Half"

On a commune in Northern Vermont

Caroline played tambourine

As for rehearsal
We made the Shaggs sound like YesI spent the blizzard of '78
On a commune in Northern Vermont
With all the Roger Zelazny anybody could want
