’78 The Blizzard of ’78 The Magnetic Fields

[Verse 1]
One ten year old was found after three weeks
In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more

[Verse 2]
Twenty-five people died shoveling snow
Have that done by somebody you hate
One-hundred-sixty-six looters arrested, but wait

[Chorus 1]
I spent the blizzard of '78
On a commune in Northern Vermont
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want

[Verse 3]
Music was very much not allowed
So we said "Hey kids, let's start a band"
Proof that Ganesh loves us
There was no tape deck at hand

[Verse 4]
The first band I'd had was called "One and a Half"
We were a duo, technically
So if Tonto's Expanding Head Band was a band
So were we
