lyrics

I believe in the spirit of the north
Protects the innocent, the stupid, and the young
He walks the streets and the alleys back and forth
Looking for any way he can to have some fun

I believe in the spirit of the north
He's my beacon, he's carrying my torch
I believe in the spirit of the north
I believe, I believe, I believe

In the morning as the snow begins to fall
And the plow don't seem to wanna come at all
The hum of these electric lights gives me paralysis
So I can see just what will become of this
And the moon shines on darkened grassland
With all these winds knocking over my trash can
The roots vibrating in the Earth under the trees
Until I start giving birth to amputees

I believe in the spirit of the north
He's my tonic and my augmented fourth
I believe in the spirit of the north
I believe, I believe, I believe

The spirit, like no other thing I know
Glides so peacefully across the ice and snow
Leaves nothing on the ground, never leaves on his shoes
No, he seems just as happy as a moose
He sure is brilliant, or maybe it's a she
Or maybe it's whatever you imagine it to be
No way to track it unless you're dead and gone
And then it lives in the clothes that you have on
