        “It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
        You’re bundled up now, wait 'til you get older”

        Steve Harwell was a prophet.

          “The ice we skate is getting pretty thin. The waters getting warm so we might as well swim. My worlds on fire how about yours? Thats the way I like it because I never get bored.”

          A prophet indeed
