- Description: How cold is the city: lit up for the season, so vain and so pretty that you might well reason it's warm and embracing, the truth though, remains. You'd better be bracing, there's ice in its veins.

How cold is the city: lit up for the season,  
so vain and so pretty that you might well reason  
it's warm and embracing, the truth though, remains.  
You'd better be bracing, there's ice in its veins.
