Come In from the Cold Song Lyrics

Back in 1957
We had to dance a foot apart
And they hawk-eyed us from the sidelines
Holding their rulers without a heart
And so with just a touch of our fingers
I could make our circuitry explode

All we ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold

(Come in) come in (come in)
Oh, come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(We were so young)
Ooh, come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold

We really thought we had a purpose
We were so anxious to achieve
We had hope
The world held promise
For a slave to liberty

Freely I slaved away for something better
And I was bought and sold
And all I ever wanted
Was just to come in from the cold

(Come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold (come in, come in)
(It was so pure)
Please, come in (come in, come in, come in)
Come in from the cold

I feel your leg under the table
Leaning into mine
I feel renewed
I feel disabled
By these bonfires in my spine

I don't know who the arsonist was
Which incendiary soul
