You get past the cold spot in the lake
Abundant things in life keep getting fewer every day

When we lived downtown and whoever was near would come on up
Next week, we saw her on a poster stapled to a pole
She killed a guy and left the body laying by the road
[Outro]
Between broadways and the ramp to 23
Swimming through
'Cause to you, it's just like
Swimming through a cold spot in the lake
And the sweetest parts of life keep getting bitter every day
