Can’t Cool Me Down (Live at Brooklyn Steel)
[Verse: Will Toledo]
Schizophrenia dreaming
I got a real bad feeling
With a taste like lemon
Having trouble breathing
Getting high on nothing
Taking credit for nothing
Inside my head is an empty head
Introducing friends to friends
[Pre-Chorus: Will Toledo & Ethan Ives]
Say, there's a hole in the ceiling
Everything but me and it has got no feeling
Smoke is pouring out the vent
I crawl like an animal to ya
(Crawl, crawl, an animal to ya)
It's a time of need and I need you to help me, please, please
I crawl, I crawl, an animal to ya
I crawl, I crawl, an animal to ya
I crawl, I crawl, an animal to ya
I crawl, I crawl, an animal to ya
[Chorus: Will Toledo]
Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
It can't cool me down
Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
No, it can't cool me down
Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
It can't cool me down
[Bridge: Will Toledo]
Vivid visions
It's been so long since I
Heard your voice and
Felt your feeling for me
Camille Raquin at the mortuary
I like Chopin, won't you sing me to sleep?
No, don't, Daniel
You think you see a light, but
There is nothing in a flame but fire
Is it satisfaction?
Is it only practice for the real thing?
I wake from the drug trip screaming
[Verse 2: Will Toledo & Ethan Ives]
Hey, we're not supposed to be here
(We're not supposed to be here)
Hey, we're not supposed to be here
(We're not supposed to be here)
Now my blood is dirty water
Drain it, bleed it, wash it down the drain
Devil in the other, somebody else's mistake
I am dripping with sweat, my hands
I can't hold anything in these hands
I've only made one mistake in my life
I've only made one mistake, I'm going
[Chorus: Will Toledo & Ethan Ives]
Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
It can't cool me down
Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
It can't cool me down, down, down, down
(Cool water on my brow
Can't cool me down
It can't cool me down)
It can't it can't, it can't cool me down
Can't cool me down
Can't cool me down
[Spoken: Will Toledo]
Hey Bartees, they're backstage, come on- good, how you doing man?
You guys like Bartees Strange?
Alright, we're gonna do a thing
I'm gonna say a thing and we're gonna do a thing
And half of the time, I'm like this
Oh yeah, you know what to do
Now send in Jordan
We bring in the tambourine and then we flick
Oh hey, that guitar, you know the one
Pick it up, put it on, turn it on, now hit me
Two, three, four
Oh oh
Na na na na na na hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus: Will Toledo & Ethan Ives]
I don’t have the strength
I don’t have the time
I told myself a lie
You know I’ve tried
Don’t you know I’m not kind?
Someone’s calling the cops
Someone makes it all stop
I spent it all today
Now I have nothing to say
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Spoken: Will Toledo & Andrew Katz]
Thank you very much Bartees and Jordan!
Hot damn New York! You guys are fun!
