(I am beaten, I am weathered)
(I have heared the rattled sound)
(In my ships cavity the better)
(To grade the static)
I carved my name in the summer (Of two-thousand and two)
Into the trunk of a great tree I lay down under (and soon)
I fell asleep for a hundred years (next thing I knew)
I awoke in the future
Entire cities of old folks homes
In every household a hospital bed for everyone
They laid me down and they stripped my clothes
They gave me a shirt that says
"I survived my own life"
It was cold, it was cold, it was cold
It was cold, it was cold, it was cold
They found our limbs caused us too much pain
Oh, so they cut off my arms
And they cut off my legs
Now I'm wanderin' around and I feel out of place
I would like to go back to
I told you, I told you
I have nothing left with which to hold you
I lean up against you
We need heat where we're gonna go
(I have been there, I should know that)
It was cold, it was cold, it was cold
It was cold, it was cold, it was cold
And we were old, we were old
We were shedding our skins like some cold blooded animals
All looking for love in the mirror but you know
That you're on your own
You keep yourself
You live alone
It was cold, it was cold, it was cold
