The Cold War Songtext
You're a walking fog or a concrete park garage
I am a dead dog lying at a bus stop in the sun
Where will we sleep tonight when none of our beds are right
I'm a traitor to me cause I can never tell where I'm gonna run to
I despise my lack of taste when it comes to my fate
But you have spied all of those routes I have taken
And where I go there you are
And all you gotta do is open your eyes and see
Though I may be in disguise
You know we're both on the same side
It's easy to know when you're home alone
It ain't easy to know if you're somebody's home
I'm standing at your kremlin wall in some old galoshes
You're a million maybes tall look down on something small
What'll cover you tonight maybe just a sheet of ice
Lay you down and go to sleep
In the rain and the snow and the sleet
And in the morning you'll wake and see
That sheet of ice was only me
But let the truth decay in its own heat
Because the coldest secrets can never keep
And all you've gotta do is open your eyes and see
Though I may be in disguise
You know we're both on the same side
