The coldest shoulder cast in metal
Frozen to the bone
To rely on hook, line and sinker
What a sinker, sinking like a stone
You'd be better off alone

She saw me on the television underneath the sun
Thought that I was warm like mother, lover, brother
Brother, she was wrong
Me, I don't long to belong
Time stood still with his fingers in his ears
Didn't want to hear it from another bunch of hollow men

Cold, been excommunicated 'cause I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better

I met her on Monday and my heart did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic, mystical guru
Me, I haven't got a clue
But floating on a magic carpet high above the earth (in the flood)
You can see the world like a Buddha (with my blood I can hold you)
Bread and Buddha, bigger than you hurt (in the flood with my blood I can hold you)
Don't you know that love is work? (In the flood)
King got caught with his fingers in the till (with my blood)
Where's your calculator? Will you leave it in your will?

Cold, no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold
And Capricorn is rising, yes, I'm cold
Listened to my old friend Nockles
Hoped that it would warm the cockles

You can't fight the fear
You can't, this is the road you're on
You don't belong to me, you don't belong to any one
Your reputation lies not in your eyes, but those who dare
Will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs
When you got blood to bleed, you got a life to lead

In the flood with my blood I can hold you
In the flood with my blood
King got caught with his fingers in the till

Cold, been excommunicated 'cause I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better

(Cold) cold, no heat on the horizon, guess I'm cold
There'll be no compromising, cold
Cool, cold
Stone cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone cold
Stone cold (cold), stone cold (cool), stone cold (cold), stone cold
Stone cold, stone cold, stone cold, stone cold
Stone cold, stone cold, stone cold
