Come inside, shut the door   Grab the blankets off the floor   Let your sneakers dry there on the radiator   Here we are, winter again   Brittle bones and prickled skin   All the geese have flown   I wish I was a hibernator      And tonight it's clear to me   How a country could secede      We keep close, huddle tight   Near the stove, blue and bright   While the kettle warms, how long have we waited?   If they took this joy away   Small it is, but ours today   Well I know, I know, I wanna be liberated      And tonight it's clear to me   How a country could secede   For a cup of tea   For a cup of tea   For a cup of tea!      Here I am, for by sea   They took our bombs to take our tea   We will ring our bells to warn of their arrival   We keep close, huddled tight   Me and you, we'll be alright   And this tea for two will aid in our survival      And tonight it's clear to me   How a country could secede    For a cup of tea! x3
