Long blue shadows of the jackals
Freely I slaved away for something better
We get hurt and we just panic
(Please come in)
(Just a flu with a temperature)
(I was outta line)
Never entirely clear
By these bonfires in my spine
(It was so pure)
And I longed to lose control
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Come in, oh, come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
I feel renewed, I feel disabled
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Come in, come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
We had hope, the world held promise
Come in from the cold
(Come in from the cold)
(Oh, come in)
(Come in from the cold)
I fear the sentence of this solitude
I am not some stone commission
But all I ever wanted
(Come in from the cold)
Debase as it admires
Oh, all they ever wanted
I don't know who the arsonist was
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Like a statue in a park
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Was just to come in from the cold
I was so alone
Oh, come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
(Come in from the cold)
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Is this the edifying fire
(For my loving crime)
And I was bought and sold
I was so blue
(Come in from the cold)
(Come in from the cold)
Oh, all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
(Come in from the cold)
Come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
In a self-important voice
(When the moon shines)
For a slave to liberty
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
(Into no mind)
And I made some valued judgments
When I thought life had some meaning
Come in from the cold
When the moon shines
(Come in from the cold)
And so with just a touch of our fingers
Come in from the cold
Oh and all we ever wanted
Come in from the cold
(Please come in)
Come in from the cold
(Just a high fever)
Two hundred years on hold
We really thought we had a purpose
Is this just vulgar electricity
We were so blue
Holding their rulers without a heart
We were so blue
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
I know we never will be perfect
I am flesh and blood and vision
I was so alone
And all I ever wanted
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Was just to come in from the cold
Does your smile's covert complicity
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Come in, oh, come in from the cold
Was just to come in from the cold
Are you just checking out your mojo
(You were only being kind)
Was just to come in from the cold
(Please come in)
Come in from the cold
Or am I just fighting off growing old
(Come in from the cold)
Are falling on a pay phone by the road
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
(Oh, come in)
I could make our circuitry explode
(Please come in)
I feel your legs under the table
We were too young
All I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Which incendiary soul
I am howling in the dark
Come in from the cold
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
But then absurdity came over me
Then I thought I had some choice
(Come in, come in)
All we ever wanted
(I was running blind)
Come in from the cold
And we strike out, out of fear
We were so young
Leaning into mine
(Come in, come in, come in, come in)
Was just to come in from the cold
We were so anxious to achieve
