Temat: Cold cold ground
Cold Cold Ground
(Big Time live version, 1988)(1)
Well, Crest fallen(2) sidekick(3) in an old cafe
It slept with a dream before he had to go away
There's a bell in the tower, Uncle Ray bought a round
Don't worry 'bout the army in the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Now don't be a cry baby when there's wood in the shed
There's a bird in the chimney and a stone in my bed
And the road's washed out(4), we pass the bottle around
And wait in the arms of the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
There's a ribbon in the willow and a tire swing rope
A briar patch of berries takin' over the slope
The cat'll sleep in the mailbox and we'll never go to town
Bury every dream in the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Give me a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
Blow the roof off the goat barn, let it roll down the hill
The piano is firewood, Times Square is a dream
Lay down together in the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
Call the cops on the Breedloves(5), bring a Bible and a rope
Whole box of Rebel(6) and a bar of soap
Make a pile of trunk tires and burn 'em all down
Bring a dollar with you, baby, in the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
In the cold cold ground
