bob looks deeply into whatever-her-name-is' eyes she looks back, smiles, they both look away they see each other twice a day but that has nothing to do with us, anyway
CHORUS
you said you'd love me when hell froze over well, it's getting cold down here 'is my heart for you?' is a question i ask that and: 'who made cheerios low in sugar?' did i mention the part about cold down here? guess the asbestos is getting to me
"i don't even know her," says bob, "she'll think i'm dumb" whatever-her-name-is says, "is this his way of getting a date?" they won't find out until it's too late but then again, girl, we can't relate
CHORUS
they meet two years later, bob's dating jill whatever-her-name-is turns out to be elizabeth it's funny we're in love, and they're in a mess but it's disconcerting, cause i can see my breath
and yes you said you love me when hell froze over well, satan's riding on a toboggan i'm making snow angels in purgatory and now i know what cheerios does with all that sugar yes i mentioned the part about cold down here guess the asbestos was getting to you, too
(cryin n drivin)
grew up just west of the tracks fell for a girl with cataract her dad didn't like me, he sold used cadillacs went to her house, and as i walked in her father said, "with my daughter, you better not have sin" and i started humming 'begin the begin' you know it wasn't the best time to hum and old R.E.M. song i'm sledding straight to hell won't you joey-in me on this ride my heart is for you, and your's is for me and the elvis, sugar, cheerio connection still confounds me (poison-ous) just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song every rose has it's thorn.
