Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

Cold Blue Steel out of money 

One eye for the beat police 

Sweet Fire calling 

"You can't deny me 

Now you know what you need" 

Underneath the jungle gym 

Hollow-grey-fire-escape-thief 

Looking for Sweet Fire 

Shadow of Lady Release 

"Come with me 

I know the way" she says 

"It's down, down, down the dark ladder 

Do you want to contact somebody first? 

Leave someone a letter? 

You can come now 

Or you can come later"

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

A wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer 

Edgy - black cracks of the sky 

"Pin-cushion-prick- 

Fix this poor bad dreamer!" 

"Money" cold shadows reply 

Pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked 

Corridors spit on prayers and pleas 

Sparks fly up from Sweet Fire 

Black soot of Lady Release 

"Come with me 

I know the way" she says 

"It's down, down, down the dark ladder 

Do you want to contact somebody first? 

Does it really matter 

You can come now 

Or you can come later?"

Red water in the bathroom sink 

Fever and the scum brown bowl 

Blue Steel still begging 

But it's indistinct 

Someone's HI-Fi drumming Jelly Roll 

Concrete concentration camp 

Bashing in veins for peace 

Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire 

Fall into Lady Release 

"Come with me 

I know the way" she says 

"It's down, down, down the dark ladder 

Do you want to contact somebody first? 

I mean what does it really matter? 

You're going to come now 

Or you're going to come later"
