No Shame Theatre Song

California Winter version

music by Jonathan Price

lyrics by Jeff Goode


The snow it fell in blankets
on the day I came to town.
I stumbled off the bus
and then collapsed upon the ground.

They say the snow was picturesque
And measured it in feet.
But what was that to me as I
Lay face down in the street?

No Shame Theatre
Right between the eyes.
No Shame Theatre
Frostbite never lies.
I lay there on the asphalt
As the shoppers passed me by.
I only had one Christmas wish
And that wish was to die.

I lay there for a day or two,
But no one seemed to care
Except a kindly bum who
Urinated in my hair.

No Shame Theatre
Losers never try
No Shame Theatre
Santa let me die!
They say, do as the Romans do,
If you get stuck in Rome.
So I laid there another day
And then I just went home.

I guess I owe my life to sheer
Geography that day.
It snowed like hell all week, back east
When I came to L.A. (But I was in L.A.)

No Shame Theatre
Californ-i-a
No Shame Theatre
I came, I thawed, I stayed.
