Cold, Cold World (Hyde Park Demo) Lyrics

Been crying wolf for way to long

No one's 'round to help now

Left you out here all alone

In this cold, cold world

You used to laugh at people like you

Now your eyes are looking redder

Lost your pride and your money's all gone

In this cold, cold world

Rain feels awful different

When you got nowhere to run to

Faces look funny all scrunched at you

In this cold, cold world

Hard to warm in a coat with holes

And your bones are awful chilly

Socks cost more than you thought they did

In this cold, cold world

Mister, mister, can I get some help

Could you spare a little change please

You yelled out pull your boot straps up

In this cold, cold world

Ain't it funny how quick the tides can change

That tow will pull you out there

Never were one to throw out ropes

In this cold, cold world

If you run around town with a bucket of crabs

They'll only pull you under

Your ego's got the best of you

In this cold, cold world

Howdy, friend, could I bum a smoke

Or maybe a different life, please

Seems this one is all a mess

In this cold, cold world

Been crying wolf for way to long

No one's 'round to help now

Left you out here all alone

In this cold, cold world
