Cold Cold Ground

Here’s another one for the cold cold ground

You’ve been throwing down the drinks at the speed of sound

Your mama couldn’t save you even if she tried

But if you could be anything, it should be fine

Gravity’s a bastard, it’ll pull you down

Imagine being Newton when he just found out

That everything you’re gonna see, you’ve seen before

You thought you had love, but it wasn’t yours

Now your garden’s empty but your car is clean

You’re all wine and smoke and amphetamine

Did you hear me singing in the dead of night

You couldn’t wait to find out

You couldn’t wait to find out

Here’s another one for your bloody nose

The time you left for work and burned all your clothes

For every time you said you didn’t need your friends

To never have to walk the cold ground again

But gravity’s a bastard, it drags you down

Why did I have to meet you when you just found out

That everything you’ll ever do, you’ve done before

You shook my hand and lied and walked out the door

Now my hope is dying and the moon is mean

You’re all wine and smoke and you’re sick of me

Did you hear me singing in the dead of night

You couldn’t wait to get out

You couldn’t wait to get out

Maybe in a thousand years or so

A shovel’s gonna find you in the cold cold snow

And everything you’re gonna see while falling down:

You were always gonna end up in the cold cold ground

Now your garden’s empty but your car is clean

You’re all wine and smoke and amphetamine

Did I hear you singing in the dead of night

I couldn’t wait to find out

I couldn’t wait to find out

Here’s another one for the cold cold ground

You’ve been throwing down the drinks at the speed of sound

Your mama couldn’t save you even if she tried

But if you could be anything, it should be fine
