On the coldest night of the year
You start to rethink hell
Cause all you hear is a cruel wind moan
Fire engine bells
See, this family had no heat
So they built a bonfire in their living room
They thought they could keep it a secret
But those flames caught on and soon the whole building went up
I see one fireman turn to another and say
Thats quite a blaze we got here.
Yup...well, theyre warm for now

And the fires burn on the east side
While the west is hunkering down
And Im in search of comfort
But he is elusive and working in mid-town

Ohhh

Oh, oh its negative something degrees
Oh, oh I think the whole world may freeze
Been this low for awhile

Its the coldest night of the year
And Ive decided that hell is on 29th street
Yeah, the cars jammed down 10th avenue
Cause the girls all go on sale just to get inside
Hey, honey...you want a ride?
Well theyll give handjobs for a dollar
Theyll go down on you for ten
If your car has heat
Hell is 29th street

And these few degrees are lonely
They cling to me for life
Holding on to a dead mans blanket, a lost dogs fur
And a hookers exposed thighs...

Ohhh..

Oh, it hasnt been sunny for weeks
Oh, the tears freeze on my cheeks
And its love for awhile
Januarys child

And when he finds me
On his steps outside
Im half frozen in ice
So he digs me out
And he drags me in
And he cuts like a surgeon
Through my skin into warm blood
Melts me down and gives me love
When I tell him I want to die
That january boy laughs and says
Okay snow queen, heres a match
Why dont you try...

Oh, oh its negative something degrees
Oh, oh I think the whole world may freeze
Itll be all right in awhile

Its gonna be its gonna be all right
All right all right all right
Says januarys child
Its be gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
