It's the last cold day of the year
And you're waiting for that thaw
Take a long last look at the lake
And see what your father saw
With a great future behind him
And the Eighties on their way
Where his father came to play
On the last cold day of the year
We should drive to the heart of things
Break it off and leave it behind
See what tomorrow brings
Yesterday's an easy target
Doesn't mean we shouldn't shoot
Kill the sadness at the root
Of the last cold day of the year
Reconstruction is at hand
No transmission will we heed
Cast away a master plan
It's the last cold day of the year
Cabin fever hotel freeze
Where we crashed after the party
Where we patched it up with ease
Till the fault lines became fissures
For backstabbers and well wishers
Fell into an earthquake season
And a war against all reason
Now we gotta face the fear
We gotta face the fear
Gotta face the fear
Of the last cold day of the year
Reconnection is at hand
No transmission will we need
For to feed a barren land
