So we start talking, soon we're walking back to her place She carries pepper spray on her keychain She says, "There's never a cop around when you need one." We climb the stairs to her apartment She offers me a beer She says, "It's cold in here." She's never wrong but she was mistaken Some words are better left unsaid And it's time now that this was over Before we start to speak She says, "It's cold here in the heat." So we thumb through her record collection here at her place Turn up the thermostat by the furnace She says, "My roommate is asleep. Sit down next to me." We're in the dark in her apartment She says that she don't care You know it's cold out there She's never wrong but she was mistaken Some words are better left unsaid And it's time now that this was over Before we start to speak She says, "It's cold here in the heat."
