| The chance that he ever reaches any place
|
| Suitable to support life in his lifetime’s pretty low
|
| (Get low) Pretty low, (Get low)
|
| Pretty low (Get low) pretty low (Get low)
|
| And the chances of him of ever seeing anybody that he knows
|
| Are even lower so he’s making up his mind to just go
|
| (Let go) Just go, (Let go) just go, (Let go) just go (Let go)
|
| So it’s one shot in the arm (One shot in the arm)
|
| Hazy in the head (Hazy in the head)
|
| Set the timer once (Set the timer once)
|
| Lay down in the bed (Lay down and)
|
| Close the hatch trying to clear your mind
|
| Cause nightmares and alarms blowing kill the time
|
| If you have a God say something sublime
|
| Deep breath and leave it behind you ready to
|
| (Jump) Be right here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) Be right here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) Be right here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) Be right here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) There’ll be no here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) There’ll be no here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) There’ll be no here when you wake up
|
| (Jump) There’ll be no here when you wake up

| Slow blood
|
| Slow blood
|
| Slow blood
|
| Somewhere in sleep is a brainstorm and the EKG spikes
|
| And the nerves fire like flies lightly then die slightly each night
|
| Alright alright alright
|
| It’s an artifact apparently, similar to a muscle memory
|
| And he grabs her ropes and chokes back songs
|
| Like tears, like stars, like gears, and moving pictures
|
| Picture perfect, paint a perfect picture
|
| Perforate it, rip it up into a thousand jagged edges
|
| He’s embarrassed of the love he has for things you never knew
|
| Didn’t you know? |
| Happiness is waiting at your door
|
| In a sleek black dress and a kiss that says «hello»
|
| And a thick black mess and a mom that says «don't go»
|
| And a cul-de-sac so cold it’ll hold you close
|
| When the stores all close and the clothes so thin to begin with
|
| When the wind rips they blow
|
| Pretty low, (Get low) pretty low, (Get low)
|
| Pretty low, (Get low) pretty low (Get low)
|
| Just go, (Let go) just go, (Let go)
|
| Just go, (Let go) just go (Let go)
|
| Slow blood (I follow the stars when the sun goes to bed)
|
| Slow blood (Everything I’ve ever known is long dead)
|
| Slow blood (I can’t go back home cause I wanna be free)
|
| Slow blood (Someone tell the others what’s become of me) |
