Cooling (Live) [Plugged Tour 1998]

[Intro]

"So this little song, um, it's probably- she's one of my best friends of all the songs. And um, she just didn't wanna be on any of the records. She was, um, supposed to be on Pele, and then she told me to fuck off and then she, uh, was supposed to be on Choirgirl, sort of, kind of. And then she said, 'You know? No.' And then, uh, she decided she liked being played live so I play her a lot and, um, this is sort of my goodbye to you."

[Verse 1]

Maybe I didn’t like to hear

But I still can’t believe Speed Racer is dead

So then I thought I’d make some plans

But fire thought she’d really rather be water instead

[Chorus]

And Peggy got a message for me from Jesus

And I've heard every word that you have said

And I know I have been driven like the snow

But this is cooling faster than I can

This is cooling faster than I

[Verse 2]

So then love walked up to like

And said, "I know that you don’t like me much, let’s go for a ride"

This ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree

And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?

These, yes, these kisses

[Chorus]

And Peggy got a message for me from Jesus

And I heard every word that you have said

And I know I have been driven like the snow

But this is cooling faster than I can

This is cooling faster than I

This is cooling

This is cooling

This is cooling

This is cooling
