I'm pretty sure he's saying, "And when you went home," not "cold." Anyway, this is definitely one of my favorite songs on this album. It doesn't seem to have much to do with the whole television-Superman-inventor theme, and the booklet references the song as sort of a mid-point, or an intermission, before the beginning of the end of the story, so this song is exactly what the title says: an overture.
