maybe i didn't like hear
but i still can't believe speed racer is dead
so then i thought i'd make some plans
but fire thought she'd really rather be water instead

and peggy got a message for me, from jesus
and i heard every word that you have said
and i know i have been
driven like the snow

but this is cooling
faster then i can
this is cooling
faster then i...

but do i hate what she is
or do i want to be her
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, virgin

woman, you got too many brambles
hiding under these bushes
woman, you got too many brambles
but i always liked a good storm
always good for a storm

so then love walked up to like
said i know that you don't like me much
let's go for a ride
this ocean is wrapped around that pineapple tree
and is your place in heaven
worth giving up these kisses
these, yes, these kisses

and peggy got a message for me, from jesus
and i heard every word
that you have said
and i know i have been
driven like the snow

but this is cooling
faster than i can
hey...
faster than i can
cooling
this is cooling
this is cooling

The studio version of Cooling appears on the UK Spark (Part 2) single while a live version of the song is on the To Venus And Back: Still Orbiting album.

When performing Cooling live, in-concert, Tori leaves out the bridge of the song,

but do i hate what she is
or do i want to be her
and don't we love something fresh
anything new, virgin

woman, you got too many brambles
hiding under these bushes
woman, you got too many brambles
but i always liked a good storm
always good for a storm

"She was supposed to be on Pele, and she told me to 'fuck off'. Then she was supposed to be on Choirgirl, and she said, 'you know....no. And then she said she'd like to be played live.....so i play her alot."
-- Tori intro to song; To Venus And Back: Live Still Orbiting

"This is sorta my goodbye to you."
-- Tori; VH1 Hard Rock Cafe Live, 10/15/99

"So, um, i wrote this song, um, when i lived in a bridge. When I didn't live on land or I didn't live on water. it was this thing in the air...and you kinda went under it as a boat. and my piano was just a boat...sorta where the boats went under. and I was writing a song for Boys For Pele, and um...I'm doing my habit, I'm sorry! and uh, I uh, thought it was gonna make the record and it didn't. and it didn't make this record, but I think it's probably one of our favorites."
-- Tori intro to song; in-concert

"I wish she had been on Pele, cause I think it would have been kinda cool for a volcano to say 'This is cooling faster than I can'."
-- Tori; Boston FNX AIDS benefit, 12/03/99

"Cooling is a song that was written for Boys for Pele and it didn�t really fit in the album, so it came out as a B side for Spark in England; you can get it as an import. And I play it a lot now; I tried to put it on this record but it didn�t really fit."
