John Cale
Cold Water
Three people I don't know
Their stairwell, my wheelchair
Their needle, the basement
Six inches of cold water
I begged them, I pleaded
Don't do this, I'm not dreamin'
No nightmare, nobody can hear me, my wheelchair
This basement is flooding
Twelve inches of cold water
I begged them, I pleaded
Don't do this, I'm not dreamin'

It's cool to get the feelin' that you have gone through it without assistance
Just leave one hand against the wall and you can lead yourself out of the labyrinth
Six inches of cold water

It's cool to get the feelin' that you have gone through it without assistance
Just leave one hand against the wall and you can lead yourself out of the labyrinth
I've done this twice and I was amazed at the ease of delivery
And if you lose contact you'll be stuck and I doubt you'll be leaving

Six inches of cold water
Six inches of cold water
Six inches of cold water
Six inches of cold water
