From the recording Angle of Repose, Angle of Attack
Lyrics
I am warm, but I can’t heat this sea
And I am full, but I can’t make it bleed
I am bright, with no way to light the room
And I am cold, and still need ice for the wound
So cool to be cruel
So cool to be cruel
You need ice for the wound
You need ice for the wound
Keep it safe and you’ll be there soon
But you need ice for the wound
I’m awake, but not anywhere special
And I am here, but not to enough to touch you
And I am high, so high I can’t make a sound
I am the moon, tall enough to look on down
So cool to be cruel
So cool to be cruel
You need ice for the wound
You need ice for the wound
Keep it safe and you’ll be there soon
But you need ice for the wound
And I am here using up the light of day
I am late and racing up the back stairs
I am useless in my own special way
And I am wanting and choking on cares
You need ice for the wound
You need ice for the wound
Keep it safe and you’ll be there soon
But you need ice for the wound
You need ice for the wound
You need ice for the wound
You've got no way to light the room
And you need ice for the wound
