Michelle Lewis - January's Child Lyrics
(michelle lewis/teddy kumpel)Dada dada dada dadaDada dada dada dadaDada dada dada dadaOn the coldest night of the yearYou start to rethink hellCause all you hear is a cruel wind moanFire engine bellsSee, this family had no heatSo they built a bonfire in their living roomThey thought they could keep it a secretBut those flames caught on and soon the whole building went upI see one fireman turn to another and sayThats quite a blaze we got here.Yup...well, theyre warm for nowAnd the fires burn on the east sideWhile the west is hunkering downAnd Im in search of comfortBut he is elusive and working in mid-townOhhhOh, oh its negative something degreesOh, oh I think the whole world may freezeBeen this low for awhileJanuarys childDada dada dada dadaJanuarys childIts the coldest night of the yearAnd Ive decided that hell is on 29th streetYeah, the cars jammed down 10th avenueCause the girls all go on sale just to get insideHey, honey...you want a ride?Well theyll give handjobs for a dollarTheyll go down on you for tenIf your car has heatHell is 29th streetAnd these few degrees are lonelyThey cling to me for lifeHolding on to a dead mans blanket, a lost dogs furAnd a hookers exposed thighs...Ohhh..Oh, it hasnt been sunny for weeksOh, the tears freeze on my cheeksAnd its love for awhileJanuarys childAnd when he finds meOn his steps outsideIm half frozen in iceSo he digs me outAnd he drags me inAnd he cuts like a surgeonThrough my skin into warm bloodMelts me down and gives me loveWhen I tell him I want to dieThat january boy laughs and saysOkay snow queen, heres a matchWhy dont you try...Oh, oh its negative something degreesOh, oh I think the whole world may freezeItll be all right in awhileSays januarys childDada dada dada dadaSays januarys childOhhh well be all right in awhileSays januarys childIts gonna be all rightIts gonna be its gonna be all rightIts gonna be its gonna be all rightAll right all right all rightSays januarys childIts be gonna be all rightGonna be all rightSays januarys child
