Out in the Cold - The Works

Oh, Tell me David, what have you done? Where has BatSheva's sweetheart gone? What's taken over? When is enough? When the going gets lonely – the lonely get rough Oh, times have changes since you became king, Since that boy with a flute, that played with a sling But you still fight from a distance, that sling in your hands If anyone gets near you don't give them a chance Oh pray. They have left you here in the cold Oh, tell me David, with just one stone You didn't really think Goliath is gone Now there you go prancing up Jerusalem road And that giant inside you is starting to get hold Michelle's in the window, BatSheva's in bed Jonathan left you, and Uriah's dead Now I don't pretend to know night time from day But if I were your god, I'd have something to say Oh pray. They have left you here in the cold

I'm layin' awake at night I can't get you out of my mind All I can hear is my heart beat And a voice in the dark of some kind Where are you now? The fears are comin' back to me once again Oh, I wish you were here Takin' good care of me I want you I feel as though I'm out in the cold Out in the cold Hear me calling Cold Out in the cold Please rescue me I know it was you I hurt I didn't mean to hurt you So much to forgive and forget Can't take anymore of this hurt Oh no, Oh no There's so many things I regret Where are you now? The fears are comin' back to me once again Oh, I wish you were here Takin' good care of me I want you I feel as though I'm out in the cold Shut me out Out in the cold Where are you now? Hear me calling I need you I'm so cold Can't you hear my heart beat? Out in the cold Please rescue me Give me a chance, baby There's nothing I wouldn't do to make it alright Just for one more chance, baby I need all your lovin' tonight Where are you now? The fears are comin' back to me once again Oh, I wish you were here Takin' good care of me I want you I feel as though I'm out in the cold Shut me out Out in the cold Where are you now? Hear me calling I need you I'm so cold Can't you hear my heart beat? Out in the cold Please rescue me Why don't you rescue me?! Cold Shut me out Out in the cold Where are you now?

I was Mr Nice Guy too long And I found out that was wrong And I played the losing role Now I'm standing at your door Out in the cold again Out in the cold again I didn't know just what was going on Behind my back for so long People that couldn't tell right from wrong Now I'm standing here all alone Out in the cold again Out in the cold again Travelled up and down all around the world Just to get to nowhere In the final round I found How many people really did care And every time I try talking to you You don't hear what I'm going through In this dog eat dog world I'm in It's a crying shame and it's a sin To be out in the cold again To be out in the cold again Travelled up and down, up and down, up and down Just to end up nowhere, end up nowhere In the final round I found Many people did care And then they welcome me back home Right back into the fold But I'm still out, still out here on a limb I'm on the outside just looking in Out in the cold again Out in the cold again Out in the cold again In between the times where it feels alright To the cold black night In between the times where it feels alright To the dead of the cold black night In between the dusk and the dawn And the cold black night Trying not to get too uptight Trying not to show the strain Having to hide my pain In between the times where it feels a little bit right In the day, in the cold black night In the early morning dawn

Ayo, faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Things will never be the same Old doors close, new doors opening The life we led in the past, we've got to rearrange People treat life as it is a game Work hard to change the people's mentality The way the world is going now, it's insanity Live the life you love and don't go on so greedy Help the children to grow up and things will change speedily with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights Hit the street and give a hand to Those you meet who need your speech to Lift their feet to rise and drag themselves from the mud Be discreet so you won't ever meet defeat For Jah will seat, we won't retreat And Babylon can't come out on top Faith without works that is death When you work, you breathe hard so I and I give thanks for every breath I only fear is Jah judgment Try your best to live upright so that you don't End up in hell with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights If a hawk can fly and show its love With songs of praise and giving thanks Along 395's polluted ten-lane highways And if a man like twice your age Can clean your house for minimum wage And still somehow greet life with a big smile on his face Then why can't we just show respect For all things with no neglect and realize That love it is the only way? Then why can't we accept the fact we're lucky We need to give back, we're foolish for not Humbling ourselves every day with Faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy, and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt I and I have got to reach the higher heights up above With faith, works and unconditional love No bad mind, no hatred, no envy and no grudge Babylon destroy, your minds, they want to corrupt But I and I have got to reach the higher heights
