"Sept 19 Triple X Love! Love!" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

[Intro: sample]
I bet you don't know

I cut down that withered peach tree
Just like you asked me to
And I hacked it into pieces
Set it on fire with your face in plain view
At the near window where you stood
Watching me split the wood

[Refrain:]
I will do as I am told
I will keep away the cold

The fire pit in the snow
Gave off a rich, bright, orange-red glow
A familiar scent rose up into the air
And I remembered something special from a long time ago
You opened up the door
Stepped away from the killing floor
Your footprint on the snow is fresh and new
When you touched me I felt fire coming through

[Refrain:]
I will do as I am told
I will keep away the cold
I will do as I am told
I will keep away the cold
