In Cold Blood Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Zero one one one zero zero one one
Crying zeros and I'm hearing one one ones
Cut my somersault, sign my backflip
Pool, summer, summer, pool, pool summer
Kiss me
[Verse 2]
Hair the way the sun really wants it to be
Whiskey soda please, your G&T is empty
Jeff's inflatables have sunk to the bottom
Pool, summer, summer, pool, pool summer
Kiss me
[Bridge]
Cali let's dive, dive down
To the pool's bottom where we belong
Cali you're sinking like a bleeding stone
All above crowd around, so fucking loud
[Chorus]
Mr. Caspian's killer told me so (La-la la-la la la)
Heard it down on the radio (La-la la-la la-la la)
My pool, summer, summer, pool, summer vibes killed
In cold blood
[Verse 3]
Zero one one one zero zero one one
Crying zeros and I'm hearing one one ones
Lifeless back slaps the surface of the pool
Pool killer, killer pool, pool killer
Kiss me
[Chorus]
Mr. Caspian's killer told me so (La-la la-la la la)
Heard it down on the radio (La-la la-la la-la la)
Pool, summer, summer, pool, pool, summer vibes killed
In cold blood
[Outro]
La-la la-la la la (In cold blood, in cold blood)
La-la la-la la la
La-la la-la la la (In cold blood)
La-la la-la la la
(Caspian's killer told me so)
La-la la-la la la
La-la la-la la la
(Caspian's killer told me so)
La-la la-la la la
La-la la-la la la
La-la la-la la-la la

What did alt-J say about "In Cold Blood"?
This song was started when we were still students in Leeds, finally finished in the sessions for this album. Sometimes it happens that way.
