Snowball In Hell

They Might Be Giants · Then: The Earlier Years [1997]

Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailor trapped in his cell



Money's all broke, and food's going hungry

If it wasn't for disappointment

I wouldn't have any appointments



Side effect or drug trip

Don't tease me with all of your might

Side effect or drug trip

My panacea's in a Xerox shop



Have a nice day, you want it when?

Have a nice day, have a nice day



"I didn't expect to find a salesman

drinking coffee this late in the morning.

How long you been here, Joe?"



"Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe.

Why do you ask?"



"You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income."



"Oh... uh... I'm doing all right.

I could do better, but... Ohahaha - I get it Paul.

Back on that old 'Time is Money' kick, right?"



"Not back on it, Joe, still on it."



Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or roadblock

A jailor trapped in his cell

Money I owe, money-iy-ay

Money I owe, money-iy-ay



Avalanche or roadblock

I was a snowball in hell

Yes I was a snowball in hell

Yes I was a snowball in hell
