When It's Cold I'd Like To Die
Moby · Mobysongs 1993-1998
Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold.
Someone flying only stolen,
I can't tell, this night's so old.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold, I'd like to die.
What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog.
If I holler let me go. If I falter let me know.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
I don't wanna swim forever.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
Locked away with freezing cold.
Someone flying only stolen,
I can't tell, this night's so old.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold, I'd like to die.
What was that my sweet sweet nothing?
I can't hear you through the fog.
If I holler let me go. If I falter let me know.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim forever.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
I don't wanna swim forever.
I don't wanna fight the tide.
I don't wanna swim the ocean.
When it's cold I'd like to die.
