I'm Cold

I go outside and it's cold

I walk downtown and it's cold

I do everything that I'm told

The people I meet, so hooked on defeat

And if it's not one thing then it's ten

I shouldn't have to be told

So I just keep moving around

'Cause I'm cold

I picked up the pieces that break

And try not to make a mistake

and sometimes I'm sick when I wake

I jump in my car and go to a bar

Because it's so much warmer in there

For my decrepit soul

Then I get back to moving around

'Cause I'm cold

All wound up

All broken down

Animal person

Carnival clown

The only thing that hurts

Is knowing it gets worse

As it goes

I work every day 'til I'm tired

Emotionally uninspired

And some think I'll maybe get fired

But what else is new

You do what you do

Because you're told to

It's something of which I'm really not yet quite sold

But it must just be a problem with me

'Cause I'm cold
