Dada dada dada dada

Dada dada dada dada

Dada dada dada dada



On the coldest night of the year

You start to rethink hell

Cause all you hear is a cruel wind moan

Fire engine bells

See, this family had no heat

So they built a bonfire in their living room

They thought they could keep it a secret

But those flames caught on and soon the whole building went up

I see one fireman turn to another and say

"that's quite a blaze we got here."

"yup...well, they're warm for now"



And the fires burn on the east side

While the west is hunkering down

And i'm in search of comfort

But he is elusive and working in mid-town



Ohhh



Oh, oh it's negative something degrees

Oh, oh i think the whole world may freeze

Been this low for awhile

January's child



It's the coldest night of the year

And i've decided that hell is on 29th street

Yeah, the car's jammed down 10th avenue

Cause the girls all go on sale just to get inside

"hey, honey...you want a ride?"

Well they'll give handjobs for a dollar

They'll go down on you for ten

If your car has heat

Hell is 29th street



And these few degrees are lonely

They cling to me for life

Holding on to a dead mans blanket, a lost dogs fur

And a hookers exposed thighs...



Ohhh..



Oh, it hasn't been sunny for weeks

Oh, the tears freeze on my cheeks

And it's love for awhile

January's child



And when he finds me

On his steps outside

I'm half frozen in ice

So he digs me out

And he drags me in

And he cuts like a surgeon

Through my skin into warm blood

Melts me down and gives me love

When i tell him i want to die

That january boy laughs and says

"okay snow queen, here's a match

Why don't you try..."



Oh, oh it's negative something degrees

Oh, oh i think the whole world may freeze

It'll be all right in awhile

Says january's child

Dada dada dada dada

Says january's child



Ohhh we'll be all right in awhile

Says january's child

It's gonna be all right

It's gonna be it's gonna be all right

It's gonna be it's gonna be all right

All right all right all right

Says january's child

It's be gonna be all right

Gonna be all right

Says january's child
