Lyrics
Avalanche
It's been three days now
Since you crawled back in your shell
Just another dose of that
Silent treatment you do so well
We're frozen in this place
Locked in a cold, cold embrace
Oh Baby, it's so hard to face
Your icy glare tells me
All I need to know
We go round and round like
Re-runs of a bad TV show
Man, this is getting old
Slammin' doors and throwin' stones
Oh Baby, its out of control
Chorus
Cant stop this avalanche
No way out and no way back
Baby, here comes the rain
And an avalanche of pain
Swept away
In an avalanche of pain
Maybe lovin' me's not easy
No money-back guarantee
And though you wanna make it so
I know it's not all me
It takes real sacrifice
You've turned down all the best advice
And now we're gonna pay the price
Chorus
Can't stop this avalanche
No way out and no way back
Baby, here comes the rain
And an avalanche of pain
Swept away
In an avalanche of pain
Lead Break
Man this is getting old
Slammin' doors and throwin' stones
Oh Baby, it's out of control
Chorus
Can't stop this avalanche
No way out and no way back
Baby, here comes the rain
And an avalanche of pain
Swept away
In an avalanche
