Lyrics

Cold Light

Cold light, hot night
Be my heater be my lover
And we could do it to each other

Cold light, hot night
Be my heater be my lover
And we can do it to each other

Go go go go go
Hey oh

Ride daddy ride
Ride out the tide
I'd rather die
Then hear goodbye
And watch you go
Go go go go
Hey oh

Ride daddy ride
Ride out the tide
I'd rather die
Than hear goodbye
And watch you go
Go go go go
Hey!

Cold light, hot night
Be my heater be my lover
And we could do it to each other
Yeah we could do it to each other
We're like a sister and a brother

Go go go go go
Hey hey huh
Uhhh

Ride momma ride
Ride out the tide
I'd rather die
Than hear goodbye
And watch you go
