Music video by Cold War Kids performing Cold Toes On The Cold Floor (Live At Third Man). (C) 2011 Downtown Music under exclusive license to Interscope Records in the US
Imagine that you're waking up in someone else's bed, getting up and trying to feel your way in the dark in a strange place. That's what the "cold toes on the cold floor" are about. Also, notice the alliteration with all the O's. They could have instead said "cold feet", but it wouldn't have worked so well.
So no, the lyrics are not stupid at all, they are both meaningful and poetic, you just need to have the right senses to understand them.
i highly recommend to anyone that has a vinyl player to pick this performance up from the third man website. it's $20 and they play an amazing set.

The lyrics are a little out there... but I really like this song. The guitar part always gets stuck in my head. I love this band.
