lyrics

Cold, cold, cold
Like a freezer in November
Like a firefly dying in the breeze
Don't pull up a chair
We're not staying long
The lights are just illusions
Meant to hypnotize with ease
Gonna sail long out on contemptuous seas
and bring a singing telegram
to slip you up a knot or two
A fierce and heady brew
A bicycle built for me and you
There's friendly foes exchanging blows
On the intraglobal scene
Don't be bringing me around until you know what you mean

You sing with holy, holy hosts
Bringing fear all around
For the bankroll and the lingering ghosts
But just one more holiday
Think of what that means
A day off work, a holocaust or a ticker tape parade

Dont, don't, don't
Deny me charades
I like to play just like anybody else
Sock me in the jaw and I scream
Then I'll kick out the JAMs
Like you ain't ever seen
Play me over and over again and again
Over and over again
Over and over again and again
Over and over again
