Ice Box

Days like this, it's an icebox
At the warehouse
Can always sweat it off
Like the small pox, like a ripe hog
If you're wastin', someone's always more than willin'
To take a beating
Don't let 'em catch you coughin' on the clock

'Cause you need this one
No, it ain't a lot
But it's all you got
Til' you meet her when you're off
'Cause you need someone
No, it ain't a lot
But she's all you got

Days like this, it's a slow rot
It's a head fog
Haul you off the floor for a stern talk
Keep your head on
You're drivin' your system til' the wheels fall off
Man, you know the costs and you need to stop
Don't let 'em catch you slurrin' on the clock

'Cause you need this one
No, it ain't a lot
But it's all you got
Til' you meet her when you're off
'Cause you need someone
No, it ain't a lot
But she's all you got

Sheath thy sweet might-have-beens
Lo the world keeps marching on

Days like this, it's an icebox
At the warehouse
Can always sweat it off
Like the small pox, like a ripe hog
If you're wastin', someone's always more than willin'
To take a beatin'
Don't let 'em catch you coughin'
Don't let 'em catch you coughin'
Don't let 'em catch you coughin' on the clock
