We Could Use Your Blood |
You are rocks full of blood, |
And you’ve got enough to heal this town, |
But the blood stands cold while our bones all fold. |
Only now you see I’m an amputee, |
And I fought before both world wars and mosaic floors |
I’ve washed my feet… |
While there are lives to be led and rocks to be bled, |
By an easily led lonely boy who’d be better off dead. |
Better off dead |
I’m tired of the mutes in my life. |
And I’m tired of this glass body. |
It’s only transparent from the outside. |
And my bee-stung lips have sank a fair few ships, |
While they continue to flap like hummingbird’s wings deep into the night. |
While there are lives to be led and rocks to be bled, |
By an easily led lonely boy who’d be better off dead. |
We could use your blood tonight in this cheap hotel, |
Our fingers turning white, |
But by the time your break down our door, |
We’ll have made our way from the easel to the cutting room floor. |
We could use your blood to heat this hotel, |
We could use your blood to paint this house red, |
We could use your blood to heal this whole town, |
We could use your blood before we pass out. |
