From the recording The Snake and the Money Jar
Lyrics
Ice to ashes.
So sophisticated
Independent and free
Knows her own mind
How she wants it to be
She’s nobody’s fool and she thinks she needs nobody
Just leave her alone
Take my advice
You can treat her mean
You can treat her nice
But you’ll never ever reach her cos her heart is set in ice.
Oh world’s so hard
When your plans fall through
Things you told yourself
Turned out to be untrue
When the ice turns to ashes oh girl I’m going to cry for you.
I’m going to cry for you
Your lost beauty and health
Your fading charm
And your vanishing wealth
I’m going to cry for you ‘cause I know you’ll never cry for yourself.
