On the coldest night of the year    I start to rethink hell   Cos all you hear is a cruel wind blowin'   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    And I saw one fireman turn to another and say    "It's quite a blaze we've got here   everyone's, warm for now"      And the fire's burning the east side    And the west is hunkering down    And i'm in search of comfort    And he is a loser   Working in mid-town       Oh, it's negative something degrees    Oh, and i think the whole world may freeze    It's been this low for a while    January's Child       It's the coldest night of the year    And i've decided hell   Is on 29th Street, yeah   Well the car's jammed down 10th Avenue    Cos the girls'll go on sale    Just to get inside    Hey Annie, you wanna ride?      Well they say anything is possible    For a twenty or a ten    If your car has heat    Hell is 29th Street       And these few degrees are lonely    And they cling to me for life    Holding on to a dead man's blanket    A lost dog's fur    And a hooker's exposed thighs       Oh, it hasn't been sunny for weeks    Oh, the tears freeze on my cheeks    It's been this low for a while    January's Child       Well he finds me on his steps outside    And i'm half frozen in ice    So he digs me up    He drags me in    And he cuts like a surgeon through my skin   Into warm blood   Lay's me down and gives me love    When i tell him i wanna die   That january boy laughs and says   "Ok snow queen, here's a match why don't you try?"       Oh, it's negative something degrees    Oh, and I think the whole world may freeze    It's been this low for a while    January's Child       Oh, It'll be alright in a while    Says January's Child    It's gonna it's gonna be alright    It's gonna it's gonna be alright    Alright, alright in a while    Says January's Child
