The Business of Things

It's a cold, cold time

It's a cold, cold time

And it makes me wonder

If I'll ever forget

How cold I?

How cold I and the world can be?

And the line gets drawn

And we draw the line

And we say it's only

The business of things

How can it be? How can it be

When it's you and me?

I can't live in the past

Hard shelled and moving fast

Change, it's the race car of time

Everyone nods along

I have done nothing wrong

And it feels like a crime

And it's a bright new day

It's a bright new day

And the crazy thing is

That I wish my old friend

Would say that it's fine

Say I'll be fine in a cold, cold time
