Screaming Through December

Hall And Oates · War Babies [1974]

What a crew we made up there was Faustus

Burnt out from playing too many bars, on a Jersey shore

And Sammy, almost bald

From ironing her hair too much back in '64

And me and Phazon out of phase

Of least my temporary name for the day



Oh, blown away and screaming

All blown away and screaming

All blown away and screaming through December



We crossed state lines we were burning

Although the cold could freeze your hand

To the steel of the wheel Miami, just a cold hearted word

From a warm smiling man on a sign in a field

We laughed just o take up some time my job



Was staring to dry and we went screaming through December

"Quasar, Quasar", where the first words I heard from Faustas

All day and giggling he apologized and then returned to flicking his blade

I sighed bleary-eyed, and tried to remember the way

As we went Screaming



A year does go by what a difference

Twelve months can make when you're living a hundred years in one

And Sammy, she went home

And now she's living in a room with a gun

Faustas ate glass for an appetizer and bled all over his synthesizer



As he went screaming

As he went screaming

As he went screaming through December
