Slo-o-o-owly to autumn.
[Chorus]

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,
C# C#/D#
From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,

G# C# G#
Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,

Blowing through the letters that we wrote.

Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
G# C#
We're idiots, babe.
D# D#7 G# C#/G# G# C#/G#
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
