Distractions - Cold Feet Lyrics

When you're skin tight
A look can chop you down
Come out in moonlight
Come on and pick up the sound
Those free words
They wouldn't want you to know
Every new light
Another place you can't go
But cold footsteps lead to cold people
You think a lot and you need those
High stepping words on your table
And now you try to drink them up
Another dead note
Makes it harder to breathe
Turn down this back road
Turn from what you can't unsee
Fly over black crow, who
Knows this place from above
If the sky would show
Heaven would send you a dove
But old footsteps lead to old lovers
And soon you'll never recover from
Each separate word on your table
And you may not be able
To know
How cold it get sometimes
And to see
The way people get by
And we won't go there
As much as it pains me to do
Your mind's unable to rely upon you
For one moment
The light will come out
And if you can get it together now
There's only one thing to do
Cold footsteps lead to cold people
You think a lot and you need those
High stepping words on your table
If not you would not be able
Cold footsteps lead to cold lovers
And soon you'll never recover from
Each separate word on your table
And you will never be able
Old footsteps lead to old places
And soon you forget the faces
Every word falls from your table
And you will never be able
To know
How cold it gets sometimes
And to see
The way people get by
Oh, goodnight
