Forever Cold - Jam in the Van, Smooth Hound Smith

I remember the night that he started the fire

Heavy summer rains coming down like sheets of fire

Despite the soggy ground my home burned up clean

My flesh into ash with a jug of kerosene

Now I move just above the ground

But I never make a sound

Burned it all

Save my soul

Always alone

Forever cold

He was fresh he was witty

When I met him I was shy

Loved me hard and savagely

He was easy on the eyes

Show me a man of incomparable charm

I’ll show you a girl who put another on her arm

In my case it was no different

I began to carry on

I was clumsy, absentminded

Leaving evidence abound

Didn’t take him long

A cheating girl’s an easy catch

First he cried and then wailed

And then he smiled and lit the match

Now I move just above the ground

But I never make a sound

He burned it all

Save my soul

Always alone

Forever cold

Everyday I am abandoned I am fridged like I’ve told

At night I miss the fire a greater pain I’ve never known

Was the last time I felt anything

But a cutting bit of frost

Now I glide gently through the town

And I mourn all that I have lost

Now I move just above the ground

But I never make a sound

He burned it all

Save my soul

Always alone

Forever cold

Always alone

Forever cold
