Warming Up To The Ice Age - John Hiatt

Baby shaved her head and gone

Now she’s got black stockings on

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age

Baby spreads her little wings

Now the boys say awful things

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age

She’s got a heart and it’s on fire

But how would they know

This cool blue flame will only expire

Out here in the snow

She could melt the modern world

But she’s just a modern girl

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age

Frozen like a punch bowl swan

Frozen like a mastodon

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age

Maybe she’ll come back to me

In Ten Million years

And maybe I could make her see

It’s only a world of tears

Her survival kit contains

Lots of things to keep her brain

The proper distance from her heart

'Cause that’s where all the trouble starts

Baby hasn’t figured yet

That one cold shoulder is all you get

One cold shoulder don’t stop no show

Cause baby we’re all Eskimos

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age

I think she’s warmin' up to the ice age
