lyrics

cold and cruel

whistle back to me the worker’s song that made them strong so I can hear their story
it’s a sign of the times when the wishing wells and the church’s bells cannot call us to their sides

well this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel

well a leech is a leech, when put to skin, sucks blood in without even giving warning
if i put a fire to its back, how long before lust so bold is trumped by the pain?

well this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel

how long must I train the sun through this glass upon the leaves for there to spring a flame?
ears to the ground, how far behind did I fall last night when I melted into the crowd?

well this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel
if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle it’s what I do
when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel
