lyrics

It was a cold day in California
When's it ever cold in California?
I kept my shirt on at work
When did I ever go to work?
I would never keep my shirt on at work

I wish I had met you
Before I got cold

Before I got savvy to the shit a man's gotta know
To survive where the streets are paved with gold
Privy to the tricks that a man's got to know
To stay alive until he is old
Not to die before he gets old

Was there ever really gold in California?

I saw you hold your tongue today
Since when did your tongue ever get in the way
You said the best things in life are free
So I called you but you were busy
Hey man that's such a bullshit theory

I got caught up in the rush
But I did not come for gold
I would settle for coal

I would settle for not feeling cold
I would settle for not feeling

Was there ever really gold in California?
Well I just wanted to stay warm for you
