Left Out In The Cold

(album: A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip - 2020)

Uniqlo is my employer
Hired by a Tokyo lawyer
Head of research
Winnipeg is where I'm living
Cold as hell, it's unforgiving
Perfect research

Now I'm left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Long before they're sold

Long down jackets, overcoats
Ski caps, gloves, I'm making notes
Long down jackets, overcoats
Do you still feel cold?

Some of them are nearly perfect
Some of them are still imperfect
Winnipeg air
I'm employed to reach perfection
1 to 10, how much protection
Some are just fair

Now I'm left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Long before they're sold

Long down jackets, overcoats
Ski caps, gloves, I'm making notes
Long down jackets, overcoats
Ski caps, gloves, I'm making notes

Long down jackets, overcoats
Ski caps, gloves, I'm making notes
Long down jackets, overcoats
Do you still feel cold?

Now I'm left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Left out in the cold

Now you're left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Long before they're sold

Long down jackets, overcoats
Ski caps, gloves, I'm making notes
Long down jackets, overcoats
Impervious to cold

There were times when things were better
I became an online bettor
Things went South fast
Once I had a mammoth mansion
Lightweight clothes of summer fashion
All that's now past

Now you're left out in the cold
Left out in the cold
Long before they're sold

Someday I'll be warm again
Someday back in form again
Someday I'll be hot again
Have another shot

Someday I'll be warm again
Someday back in form again
Someday I'll be hot again
Have another shot again

Someday I'll be warm again
Someday back in form again
Someday I'll be hot again
Have another shot again

Now I'm left out in the cold
