Cold Water

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Wind chimes tinkling)
(Acoustic guitar fingerpicking)
(Fiddle melody enters)
[Verse 1]
Well, I built me a tub out of galvanized steel
Got the bags of ice, yeah I know the deal
And the temperature’s droppin' to thirty-four
But I ain't gonna run out the bathroom door
No, I ain't gonna run out the door
[Chorus]
Oh, cold water, keep on freezin'
Cortisol levels, keep on decreasin' on me
Oh, cold water, keep on freezin'
Vagus nerve, won't you keep on healin' me
Keep on healin' me
Keep on healin' me
(Fiddle solo)
[Verse 2]
When the shock hits the skin, well it takes your breath
And your brain starts scream, thinking "This is death!"
But you hold the line and you count to ten
And the warmth from the core starts to rise again
Yeah, the warmth starts to rise again
[Chorus]
Oh, cold water, keep on freezin'
Cortisol levels, keep on decreasin' on me
Oh, cold water, keep on freezin'
Vagus nerve, won't you keep on healin' me
Keep on healin' me
Keep on healin' me
[Breakdown]
(Music stops - A Cappella Harmony only)
I'd like to feel that norepinephrine
Reset the system and start it all again
I'd like to feel that norepinephrine
Reset the system and start it all again
(Hand in hand...)
Breath by breath...
(Take me by the hand...)
Freeze it to the death...
(Pretty mama dance...)
Do the shivering dance...
(With the Dixieland...)
With the pineal gland...
[Guitar Solo]
(Fast acoustic guitar strumming returns!)
(Fiddle goes wild!)
[Outro]
Oh, cold water...
(Keep on freezin')
Mississippi freeze...
(Just keep on freezin')
I ain't got no worries...
'Cause I'm numb from the knees...
(Fade out with wind chimes)
