Cold Java Lyrics

Album: Vantage

As written in the booklet:

We watched it over lunch

Caffeine for the tired eyes

Warm smoke for the nerves

Some well-wrapped sweets

And oh mercy how sour they were

We read it in the paper while having warm bread

Five olives and a spoonful of something thought sweet

And of mercy how bitter it was

Glassy eyes, chrome nerves and an issue to address

Glassy eyes, chrome nerves

The news just said it nice

Admit to your jailors that it's too much

And be tied ever tighter

Stand like this, still in a closet full of kicks on an angry chair

Arrested twice and shot
