I been knocking
At your door
Don't call these bloody knuckles bad luck
Call them battle scars
I been waiting
For your light to turn on
Patient nascent faith in the impossible dream
Keeps me hanging on
I been down down down
For way too long
But if you think that cold should gonna roll me over
Baby you're wrong
I been down down down
On my knees
But it's a cold war baby
You won't see no white flag from me
I been hurting
Way deep inside
Internal bleeding feeding my needing
Only one thing can satisfy
I been beating
My head against that wall
Cold stone all alone but even cold stone
Can fall
I been down down down
For way too long
But if you think I can't recover from my lover
Well then baby you're wrong
I been down down down
On my knees
But it's a cold war baby
You won't see no white flag from me
If waiting is a weapon
I got the magic bullet
Fire with precision in this war of attrition
There ain't nothing to it
I been down down down
For way too long
No pretenses in the trenches
And I am in for the haul
I been down down down
On my knees
But it's a cold war baby
You won't see no white flag from me
Yes it's a cold war baby
You won't get no surrender from me
