Cold and Ugly (Live) Lyrics by Tool

Opiate

1992

[Intro]
“Throw that Bob-Marley-wannabe motherfucker out of here”

[Refrain]
Fade

[Verse 1]
Underneath the skin and jewelry
Hidden in her words and eyes
Is a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

[Chorus]
Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell
I am frightened too
I am frightened
Oh no, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell
I am frightened too
I am frightened

[Bridge]
Wide awake and
Keeping distance from my soul
Wide awake and
Keeping distance from my soul

[Refrain]
Fade

[Verse 1]
Underneath the skin and jewelry
Hidden in her words and eyes
Is a wall that's cold and ugly
And she's scared as hell

[Chorus]
Trembling at the thought of feeling
Wide awake and keeping distance
Nothing seems to penetrate her
'Cause she's scared as hell
I am frightened too
I am frightened too
I am scared like you
I am frightened
