slit my throat from ear to ear and drink my blood like wine i ain t afraid of living boy and i ain t afraid to die i ain t no goddamn vampire and i ain t leaking tears its not about them photographs or shouting out them beers i ve stood out that corner and i ve waited for that man i ve felt that beat pump through my veins as the money changed it s hands i ve walked these lonely city streets i ve climbed these purple hills i ve stood itching and waiting goddamn goddamn i m waiting still have you ever felt the sunrise in twitching aching arms or held your black spots in you palm and squeezed and loved them hard my city s so forgiving but this life it ain t no living take me home you never cry in bottles you cry when you get home when you watch your life walk out the door and you fall asleep alone i got my shit together but lord knows where i m going take me home
