Space Heater Blues

~~~

Stranded on a mattress
In the shadow of an actress
In the deep, dark winter
Sparks from her sweater
Light up the room
With the space heater blues

She wears a noisy necklace
And the birds are alerted
But the cat got your tongue
And Spring won't come
In the electrical hum
Of the space heater blues

Gather 'round, warm your little toes
How long, how long
Have you been out in the cold?
Heaven knows

She got mother of pearl
In the whites of her eyes
And the daughter of a detour
And a moonlit sky
And an order of fries
And the space heater blues

Her kids were with their daddy
For the weekend
She said, "Come on in
Make yourself right at home.
Open that wine and
Turn the space heater on."

It brings me down
But I'll never learn
Deep in the ground
Spring's waiting her turn

(C'mon, baby)

Winter, I don't like you much
And I know you don't like me
That Northwest wind
Is making it clear
So, let's just agree to disagree
It's a cold, cold world
Since my baby set me free

They tell me any day, now
The sun's gonna shine
Birds'll be singing
Baseballs flying
You can open a window
Won't that day be fine?
Oh, the space heater blues (3x)

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
