It's so cold in this country
Every road home is long
He had a map that he bought
For the price of his soul

He had a reason to go there
And a warm place to stay
But when it came time to leave
It was never the right day

Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor

He had a girl who he married
And he left far behind
He couldn't picture her face now
It was like he was blind

Up at five in the morning
Every breath was a stone
It's so cold in this country
You can never get warm

Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Survivor
It’s a strange disappearance
It’s a real mystery
Is he asleep in the snow?
Does he feel free?
There’s a person he once was
In a place far away
It’s so cold in this country
October to May

Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Good luck, bad luck survivor
Sleep is my friend and my rival
Good luck, bad luck survivor
