The Cooling

The first thing to go
it might surprise you to know
it's not the blood from the muscle
or the strength from the bone

Between you and me
it's the simplest thing
it's the warmth of the body
when the soul is at home

It's the heat
and you struggle to keep it inside
but it seems
it's stealing away in the night

When you first realized
that your body had died
you went to the tunnel
to wait there alone

and you stood there for days
but the light never came
so you took your poor body
and you walked it back home

Now you're popping some pills
oh to fight back the chill
and you're picking some flowers
to help with the stench

But no manner of blush
will be quite enough
just to cover the pallor
that spreads 'cross your skin

And they said
that hell would be fire and smoke
but in the end
it's the cooling that scares you the most

There's a pretty young thing
with a pretty gold ring
and she talks to you every night
'cause she don't know you're dead

And you can't figure how
when you're walking through town
no one's noticed the knife
sticking out of your head

Now you're living in fear
oh that sometime this year
they will finally notice
your heart doesn't beat

And they'll dig you a grave
and they'll put you away
but you still won't be ready
you'll grow back like a weed

Like a weed
and you wonder what you're waiting for
'cause it seems
there's no honor in death anymore

Just woke in the nite to get me a drink and I heard your cool song So I walked to my room and I picked up your tune on my little git fiddle.
So I wonder if you, wouldn't terribly mind if I played your nice song tonite when I'm l8ve in the park

[vladi]

What a beautiful song! Reina is a music Queen!!

[somewherenorthofstarbase]

I love 💘the lyrics of this song. Touches my deeper self

[stephenroberts]

I adore how dark and cheeky this song is.

[raythegardener]

I absolutely love this song.  This and Mr. Piñata are my favourites of yours.  I enjoy your perspective, insight, humour and especially your exquisite manner of expressing your ideas. That you can make something so quirky as a song about a 'zombie' so touching is a stroke of genius.  I'm so glad I found this channel a few years ago.  I look forward to downloading your album.  Thank you so much for sharing your talent on youtube.  Ray

Damn! :) Discovered Reina recently and was about to add few songs to my playlist... Ended up adding almost every video from her channel. Just too good, you have a new fan!

[MrPhireEater]

I agree with the other comments, I have been obsessed with this (and the other songs). Keep it up,

[bearron]

Need to find time to listen to your other new songs. This one is amazing.

[kiramoth]

Yes...thanks Reina, and all the band. You guys made a wonderful job :'D

[Tokkemon]

Very nice job! You fixed the mix problems from that live version and it sounds a lot better.
