  • In December, drinking horchata
    I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
    Winter's cold is too much to handle
    Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

    In December, drinking horchata
    Look down your glasses at that Aranciata
    With lips and teeth to ask how my day went
    Boots and fists to pound on the pavement

    Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
    Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

    You'd remember drinking horchata
    You'd still enjoy it with your foot on Masada
    Winter's cold is too much to handle
    Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

    Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
    Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
    Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
    Looking back, you shouldn't have fought it

    In December, drinking horchata
    I'd look psychotic in a balaclava
    Winter's cold is too much to handle
    Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
    Years go by and hearts start to harden
    Those palms and firs that grew in your garden
    Are falling down and nearing the rosebeds
    The roots are shooting up through the tool shed
    Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went
    Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement

    Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
    Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
    Oh, you had it but oh, no, you lost it
    You understood so you shouldn't have fought it
    Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
    Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
    Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten
    Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on Writer/s: Christopher Joseph Baio, Christopher William Tomson, Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij
