lyrics

Nine Oh Nine, I’m watching hands they’re moving slow
The sky is hung with snow, The truth is I don’t think you’re gonna show

Now it’s Ten Fifteen...I’m frozen right to my core
I’ll catch my death or more, you’re MIA in this none-too-holy war

Twelve Oh Five, The midnight hour has passed me by
Oh girl you never tried
Can’t even face me with the grace to say goodbye

CH Cos you’re cold, so cold

One A M, Black Ice is forming in my heart now
I guess you think it’s smart now
After ten years together to be worlds and poles apart

Two Oh Three, I just gotta see this through
My lips are turning blue
No kiss of life coming in the dark for you

CH Cos you’re cold, so cold
STARING THE CLOCK-FACE DOWN

INST BREAK

At Five Oh Four, the all night diner still awake
Around the cup my fingers shake
Frost and nail-bitten like my spirit soon to break

So, at Four off Six, my waitress clocks this tale of woe
She says ‘Boy you gotta let her go!’
Then blags a ticket to the show

INST BREAK

(Next night at) Nine Oh Nine, Here she comes she’s right on cue
She’s dressed all in ice-cold blue
She might take my breath but she could never take on you
‘Cause you’re cold

9.09, 10.15, 12.05, 1AM, 2.03, 5.04, 4 off 6, 9.09
