lyrics

Somewhere a young man pulls his car into a station
He’s got a secret tied up in his eyes somewhere
Where it all went wrong he just can’t say for certain
But it’s sure looking like a cold one way out there

A girl is trying hard to undo the ropes across her hands
While he’s in the station paying for the gasoline
He was running traffic lights, she was screaming bloody murder
Like “What do you want with..?” and “Where are you taking me?”

On the cold stone, sleep alone
It’s forty below and counting
Oh no, you’re gonna need warmer clothes
It’s one long ride up that mountain

She was a restless one who went from friend to lover
Like a giant jumbo jet, a rocket in the sky
Tonight is a different trip ‘cause she is going under
She’s praying hard for wings, yet still she cannot fly

From the cold stone, sleep alone
It’s forty below and counting
Oh no, you’re gonna need warmer clothes
It’s one hell of a ride down that mountain
