Back in 1957 we had to dance a foot apart

And they hawk eyed us from the sidelines

Holding their rulers, without a heart

And so with just a touch of our fingers

I could make our circuitry explode

All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in, oh, come in from the cold
Come in, come in
We were so young
Ooh, come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

We really thought, we had a purpose

We were so anxious, to achieve

We had hope, the world held promise

For a slave to liberty

Freely I slaved away for something better

And I was bought and sold
And all I ever wanted

Was just to come in from the cold

Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold
Come in, come in
We were so sure
Who's coming in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

I feel your legs under the table

Leaning into mine

I feel renewed, I feel disabled

By these bonfires in my spine

I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul

But all I ever wanted

Was just to come in from the cold
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Oh, come in from the cold, yea
Come in, come in
We were too far
Please come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

I am not some stone commission

Like a statue in a park

I am flesh and blood and vision

I am howling in the dark

Long blue shadows of the jackals

Are falling on a pay phone by the road

Oh, all they ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold

Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold
Come in, come in
I was so low
Ohh, come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

Is this just vulgar electricity

Is this the edifying fire
It was so pure
Does your smile's covert complicity

Debase as it admires

Just a flu with a temperature
Are you just checkin' out your mojo

Or am I just fightin' off growing old

Just a high fever
All I ever wanted

Was just to come in from the cold
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in, oh, come in from the cold
Come in, come in
It was so pure
Please come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

Ooh
I know we never will be perfect
Never entirely clear

When the moon shines
We get hurt and we just panic

And we strike out, out of fear
You were only being kind
I fear the sentence of this solitude

Two hundred years on hold

For my loving crime
Oh, and all we ever wanted

Was just to come in from the cold

Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in, come in from the cold
Come in, come in
When the moon shines
Ohh, come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold

When I thought life had some meaning

Then I thought I had some choice

I was running blind

And I made some value judgments

In a self important voice

I was outta line
But then absurdity came over me

And I longed to lose control

Into no mind
Oh, all I ever wanted

Was just to come in from the cold

Come in, come in, come in, come in
Oh, come in from the cold
Come in, come in
You were so kind
Please come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
So kind
Come in from the cold
Come in, come in
Oh, come in, come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold
Come in, come in
I was so low
Come in, come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
Come in from the cold
Come in, come in
Please come in
Come in, come in, come in, come in
