Everybody sees me But it's not that easy Standing in the life fields Standing in the light fields Waiting for some action Waiting for some action over Why won't you come over here? Why won't you come over here? We've got a city to love Why won't you come over here? We've got a city to love Oh damn good years ? I know you messed up When I saw you You're cold you're so cold You're so cold you're so cold Nobody can see me Everything's too easy Standing in the life field Standing in the light field Waiting for some action Waiting for some action She said why won't you come over here? Why won't you come over here? We've got a city to love Why won't you come over here? We've got a city to love Oh down the soul And I said set free You never chose me For a while it was nice But it's time to say goodbye Cold you're so cold You're so cold you're so cold No no no cold You're so cold you're so cold you're so cold Oh no no no no cold You're so cold you're so cold you're so cold No no you're so cold
