This cold is trying to kill us We fight it with songs Fight it in our bed with our bodies and our tongues These sheets smell like hope But they're keeping us down Get up, get up, get up can't sleep this whole one out But we can go slow, we can go slow, we can go slow As long as we go Ring around the moon is it really sailor's doom Frost on the brown grass in Humboldt park Geese are walking on water it's frozen so fast The streetlight jewels a glint of ice on your eyelash Slipping under the sill Brushing up against the pane Seeping underneath the door And resting on our eyelids A little green hint just a little less frigid The sun's coming back like it's never gonna leave us We can go slow, as long as we go As long as we go, as long as we go
