Joni Mitchell - Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire Lyrics
Cold blue steel out of moneyOne eye for the beat policeSweet fire callingYou cant deny meNow you know what you needUnderneath the jungle gymHollow-grey-fire-escape-thiefLooking for sweet fireShadow of lady releaseCome with meI know the way she saysIts down, down, down the dark ladderDo you want to contact somebody firstLeave someone a letterYou can come nowOr you can come laterA wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamerEdgy-black cracks of the skyPin-cushion-prick-Fix this poor bad dreamer!Money cold shadows replyPawnshops crisscrossed and padlockedCorridors spit on prayers and pleasSparks fly up from sweet fireBlack soot of lady releaseCome with meI know the way she saysIts down, down, down the dark ladderDo you want to contact somebody firstDoes it really matterIf you come nowOr if you come on later?Red water in the bathroom sinkFever and the scum brown bowlBlue steel still beggingBut its indistinctSomeones hi-fi drumming jelly rollConcrete concentration campBashing in veins for peaceCold blue steel and sweet fireFall into lady releaseCome with me I know the way she saysIts down, down, down the dark ladderDo you want to contact somebody firstI mean what does it really matterYoure going to come nowOr youre going to come later
