Six Cold Feet
The Gories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard 'em circling overhead
Finished my drink and walked outside
Some fool was gonna find a six foot bed
It was a cool breeze
And it brought the scent of
Moisture up my city street
And the people scattered the liquid sheet
And the rain came down
And the rain came down
We were runnin', runnin' for our lives
As we slid across the rainy streets
They were followin', hot on our heels
I just knеw one of us was gonna wind up down
Six cold feet six cold feet down
And the rain came down
And thе rain fell down
Frightened me skinny cause
Rain-slick pavement
Bottles crashed behind us on the ground
Man, I don't know how they found us
Keep on running or he'll be
Six cold feet down six cold feet down
There was chain-link just too high to climb
And no way to get around
A flick of the wrist and a kamikaze yell
And the sirens found some fools on their way
Six cold feet down six cold feet down
And the rain fell down
And the rain fell down
Seemed like the rain was just gonna
Keep on fallin' all night
The lyrics to The Gories' song "Six Cold Feet" depict a tense and perilous situation in a town. The singer mentions Plaz, presumably a character involved in some kind of trouble, who arrives around the same time as others. As the scene intensifies, the singer finishes their drink and steps outside, only to witness chaos unfolding. A bleak atmosphere is set with the mention of a cool breeze and the scent of moisture in the city streets. There is a sense of impending danger as a bright light appears overhead, causing people to scatter. The rain begins to pour down, and the singer and others are forced to run for their lives through the slippery and rainy streets. They can sense that danger is closing in on them, with the feeling that someone among them might not make it out alive. Throughout the song, the repetitive line "six cold feet down" adds to the somber and ominous tone, emphasizing the risk and potential consequences that the characters face.

Plaz pulled into town about the same they did
Plaz arrived in town at the same time as the others
I heard 'em circling overhead
I heard the sound of helicopters hovering above
Finished my drink and walked outside
I completed my drink and went outside
Some fool was gonna find a six foot bed
Someone was going to end up dead
It was a cool breeze
There was a refreshing breeze
And it brought the scent of moisture up my city street
The breeze carried the smell of wetness through the city street
There was a bright light over the heavens
There was a shining light in the sky
And the people scattered the liquid sheet
People dispersed as the rain poured down
And the rain came down
And the rain started falling
We were runnin', runnin' for our lives
We were desperately running to save our lives
As we slid across the rainy streets
As we slid on the wet pavement
They were followin', hot on our heels
They were chasing us closely
I just knew one of us was gonna wind up down
I had a strong feeling that one of us would end up dead
Six cold feet six cold feet down
Six lifeless bodies lying on the ground
Frightened me skinny cause
It scared me so much that I felt my body become thin
Rain-slick pavement
The pavement was slippery due to the rain
Bottles crashed behind us on the ground
Broken bottles made a crashing sound as they hit the ground
Man, I don't know how they found us
I have no idea how they discovered our location
Keep on running or he'll be
We must continue running or else he will be
Six cold feet down six cold feet down
Six lifeless bodies lying on the ground
There was chain-link just too high to climb
There was a tall chain-link fence that we couldn't climb over
And no way to get around
And no alternative route to go around it
A flick of the wrist and a kamikaze yell
With a swift movement of the hand and a reckless shout
And the sirens found some fools on their way
And the police sirens located some foolish individuals on their path
Six cold feet down six cold feet down
Six lifeless bodies lying on the ground
And the rain fell down
And the rain continued to fall
Seemed like the rain was just gonna keep on fallin' all night
It seemed like the rain was going to keep falling throughout the night
