Wind Chill Factor (Minus Zero) - The Boomtown Rats

I took a tube train through the subway systems

I rode those tunnels like a six foot mole

I came back out and I was gasping for air

I made it to your place, I was praying you’d be home

We really shouldn’t be alone tonight

Let’s go to a movie where everybody fights

But in the end there’s dancing, songs, and smiles

You need lots of smiles… when it’s

There you go

It’s one of those days where I don’t like myself (uh huh)

But I get along with myself O.K.

(O.K.?)

I’ll slip beneath these sheets and shiver here awhile (hmmmm)

I find this happening more frequently these days

Still… I practice nightly, I try to keep ahead

This art of surfacing is all but dead

But I keep coming up, with time enough to breathe

I take what I need… when it’s

There you go

There you go

Do you agree (no)

With anything (no)

Do you believe (no)

In anything (no)

At all (no)

You know when winter comes to visit these big cities

And the wind starts howling through the elevator shafts

Well, our love is like one of those older, colder buildings

My concrete’s cracked, and I begin to feel the draught

You start to laugh (no)

You say you’ve won (no)

It’s just I lost (no)

That’s not the same (no)

I hobble to my corner and view the situation

And we’ll settle finally for some form of deep freeze

Hibernation… now the

And it’s…
