Tea For Two Tab

by Bishop Allen


                 
Come inside, shut the door
                 
Grab the blankets off the floor
                                                                         
Let your sneakers dry there on the radiator
                 
Here we are, winter again
                 
Brittle bones and prickled skin
                 
All the geese have flown
                 
I wish I was a hibernator

                                            
And tonight it's clear to me
                                            
How a country could secede

Verse 2 (same as before)
We keep close, huddle tight                                       
Near the stove, blue and bright                                 
While the kettle warms, how long have we waited?
If they took this joy away
Small it is, but ours today
Well I know, I know, I wanna be liberated

               
                                            
And tonight it's clear to me
                                            
How a country could secede
                          
For a cup of tea
                          
For a cup of tea
                        
For a cup of tea!

Verse 3 (same as before)
Here I am, for by sea
They took our bombs to take our tea
We will ring our bells to warn of their arrival
We keep close, huddled tight
Me and you, we'll be alright
And this tea for two will aid in our survival


And tonight it's clear to me
How a country could secede 
For a cup of tea! x3
