lyrics

It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & everyone is going home, to drink wine, & get warm
It's cold & the streets are empty 'cause everyone's at home

& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold

At home you look out your window at the beautiful scene outside
At home you feel more powerful than the natural elements
You sit there & wonder how the species could have ever survived this long
Without radiators, refrigerators, calculators & so forth
Could your predecessors have ever understood the beauty that you see before you now?

& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold

There's a certain slant of light that falls across your knees & feet
It just fell exactly that way after how many billion years
Does it mean that God has got its eyes set down upon you?
Or is it all an accident that has you rooted to this chair?
Pumping oxygen & nitrogen all around a rocky sphere
Playing God beside your window when a ray of sunlight came
& broke into your dreams just like a nightbird, howling pain
It's cold & everyone is sipping warm liquid under blankets
It's cold & everyone is going home, or trying to find a home

& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold

I myself have long been finding ways not to go home
In winter depths, I sometimes suspect that there is no escape
For the air will freeze you cleanly if you challenge it at all
It's cold & I'm going home because I have no better option
For I have no lover, nor money, nor wanderlust
I love the cold, for it makes me believe in sensual comfort
I love the cold, for it makes me bring my thinking close around me
I love the cold, for it makes me pull blankets close around me
I love the cold, for it makes me long for & believe in true affection
I love the cold, for it makes me honest

& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold
& it's cold, cold, cold

It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & no one can believe that it's December already
It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & no one can believe that Summer warmth turned into this
It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & everyone is going home
It's cold & everyone is going home
