Midnight Oil - Cold Cold Change lyrics

Cold cold change, we were so excited But you came and went so soon Cold cold change, we were not invited We smiled all the while we were taken in Cold cold change, bringing in the winter Freezing up the water, closing up the mind One more danger, gonna have to deal with One last moment fading all the time But no lasting change, well we were turned around We jumped in the air to see over the wall No master plan, it's a bad design Significant time in spite of us all Cold cold change, we were so excited Waiting on the outside, waiting to begin Left us all angry and bewildered Laughing at the way we were taken in You better lock the door, turn it off (the light) We'll leave the nights alone, better keep me hoping That the change is over, the ice is gone And when the weather's warmer you can hear me shouting yeah (hirst/moginie)
