This is a song about immaturity in relationships: "Stay away from me... I'll only hurt you!" Maybe ironically, its anthemic style has lent a reaching-beyond-oneself quality, and I was lucky to have it featured in a short film called "The Red Helmet" (this film traveled the world!), a feature-length film called "Flight of the Cardinal", and a piece on the Weather Channel about kite surfing.
lyrics
Cold Cold
There’s a fly stuck on the wall down in the hall (she sees it; she knows about everything… the throwing the pillow and all of the mess…it’s not my best, but I swear I can do better). Itchy-gitchy ya-ya-ya, gonna get in the car, gonna make ya proud just to be around a superstar! I put down the top. I drive the car. To the left, to the right (stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight). You can never take a frown and turn it up (I always take a frown and turn it up). I’m your happy-happy-joy-joy girl, but if you got a minute (while I fly down the open road)… I tell you gotta lighten the load, ‘cause we’re headed for a cold cold side of the road. One look in the mouth of a horse made of gold brings you down like that mound of a mountain we hold. I’ll be running out one day now. Gonna tear it up one day now. “Is it tough making enough love?” Yeah, it’s rough, people. You gotta sleep some. I’ve been an insomniac… I know the way to suck problems like a minivac (Oh fuck. There’s a fly stuck on the wall down in the hall… says we’re headed for a cold cold side of the road). Smile to the left, lurch to the right (stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight). Oh, my love… you’d better get out… and find yourself another ride.
