Come In From the Cold (Edit Version)
Back in 1957 we had to dance a foot apart
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Holding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
I could make our circuitry explode
All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(We were so sure)
Please come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
I feel your legs under the table
Leaning into mine
I feel renewed
I feel disabled
By these bonfires in my spine
I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul
But all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) oh, come in from the cold
(You were too warm) please, come in
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
I am not some stone commission
Like a statue in a park
I am flesh and blood and vision
I am howling in the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh, all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(I was so low)
Please, come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
Oh, come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
(I was so low)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
Please, come in
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Holding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
I could make our circuitry explode
All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(We were so sure)
Please come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
I feel your legs under the table
Leaning into mine
I feel renewed
I feel disabled
By these bonfires in my spine
I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul
But all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) oh, come in from the cold
(You were too warm) please, come in
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
I am not some stone commission
Like a statue in a park
I am flesh and blood and vision
I am howling in the dark
Long blue shadows of the jackals
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
Oh, all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in) come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(I was so low)
Please, come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
Oh, come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
(I was so low)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
Please, come in
(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in)
