Tool :: Cold And Ugly

"Cold and Ugly" is a song by Tool from their 1992 EP Opiate.

"Cold and Ugly" and "Jerk-Off" were recorded live at the Jello Loft on New Year's Eve 1991, the band's second public show.

Opiate features six tracks with seven songs, the seventh a hidden track entitled "The Gaping Lotus Experience". "The Gaping Lotus Experience" is located at 6:06 on track 6. On the vinyl pressings, side 2 is double grooved. Depending on where the needle falls, "The Gaping Lotus Experience" will play or "Cold And Ugly (Live)" will play. Both tracks are followed by some silence, then the record player will play the last two tracks.

--

Underneath her skin and jewelry,
hidden in her words and eyes
is a wall that's cold and ugly
and she's scared as hell.
Trembling at the thought of feeling.
Wide awake and keeping distance.
Nothing seems to penetrate her.
She's scared as hell.
I am frightened to.
Wide awake
and keeping distance from my soul.
I am scared like you.

Maynard: purifying the earth of Bob Marley wannabe's sense 1992.

Life would be so much better with background music... I would want this song playing if i ever had to kill someone.

@Joshh926 that makes since, i mean sense

@dupersloby That's a good possibility. And Zach and Maynard were somewhat close. Close enough for Maynard to vocal work on RATM's first album.

@unwantedchild1130 I believe May-nard of Tool was referring to Zach de la Rocha of the band Rage Against the Machine, both of whom were playing shows on the L.A. circuit at the time, and the band members were most likely close enough of friends to poke fun at eachothers hairstyles.
