[Verse 1]
I opened up the window and the cold air came in
And I saw a bird on a branch outside
That I had never seen before
He looked like a robin, but it an upside down
V-shaped red mark on its chest
And I had a special feeling in my mind
And I had a special feeling in my mind
I had a certain glint in my eye
On the morning trouble came by
[Verse 2]
There was a map of the American Midwest on one wall
And there was a map of the American West on another wall
And there was a map of Rome on the third wall
And there were maps in all directions
I was looking at them pondering connections
When trouble came by
[Verse 3]
I stuck my head out the window
I had to stick my head out the window
It was much colder than I'd imagined it would be
It was much, much colder than I'd imagined it would be
It was much, much colder
It was much, much colder and trouble came by
[Outro]
