Cold Blue Steel And Sweet Fire (Live) [2022 Remaster]

[Verse 1]
Cold blue steel out of money
One eye open for the beat police
Sweet fire calling, "You can't deny me
Now you know what you need"

[Verse 2]
Underneath the jungle gym
Hollow grey fire escape thief
Looking for sweet fire
Shadow of lady release

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I know the way," she says
"It's down, down, down, down, down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you wanna contact somebody first, leave someone a letter?
You can come now or you can come on later"

[Verse 3]
A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamеr
Edgy black cracks of the sky
Pin cushion prick, fix this poor bad dreamer
"Monеy," cold shadows reply

[Verse 4]
Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked
Corridors, spit-on prayers, and pleas
Sparks fly up from sweet fire
Shadow of lady release

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I know the way," she says
"It's down, down, down, down, down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you wanna contact somebody first, what does it matter?
'Cause if you don't come now, you know you're gonna come on later"

[Verse 5]
Red water in the bathroom sink
Fever and the scum brown bowl
Blue steel still begging, but you know it's indistinct
Someone's hi-fi-drumming jelly roll

[Verse 6]
Concrete concentration camp
Bashing in veins for some kind of peace
Cold blue steel and sweet fire
Fall into lady release

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I know the way," she says
"It's down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down the dark ladder
Do you wanna contact somebody first, what does it matter?
If you come now, you can come on later"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I know the way," she says
"It's down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down"
