Cold Shower

from Wet Match by Sam Steffen

/

lyrics

You wake up in the morning and you’re still drunk from lastnight
There’s a tooth missin from your grin
You know you gotta get up but you can’t find the light
In fact you don’t even know whose bed you’re in
The woman beside you just whispered she loved you
Which you’re sure you must’ve misunderstood
All you need now’s a cold shower—a cold shower
A cold shower’ll do you good

It’s the middle of summer and it’s a thousand degrees
There’s steam risin up from the street
The air conditioner’s broken and the icebox won’t freeze
There’s no place for you to get out of the heat
You race to the pool but you can’t get in it’s full
Of every person in your neighborhood
All you need now’s a cold shower—a cold shower
A cold shower’ll do you good

You’ve bought into everything and you think it’s all swell
living safely in your American dream
you’ve been breathing in foul air so long you can’t even smell
you’ve never drawn a single breath that’s clean
given the chance to upgrade and enhance, you
hesitate, wondering whether you should
all you need now’s a cold shower—a cold shower
a cold shower’ll do you good
