Just Like Blood

Pull me close look into my eyes
Smile at me when you stick in the knife
We're bleeding into a cup when we've got enough
We'll just paint the walls
And we don't care how much it hurts
You think you're cursed it's what you deserve

'Cause you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
Let me treat you for your disease

Between angels and ropes babe what would you chose?
As you kick the dust from your perfect shoes
Your wolf suit is wearing thin and your real skin looks like it never bleeds
And you're playing to the crowd as the ship goes down comforting me

'Cause you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
If you see me falling sleep
Please don't wake me from this dream

Yeah you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
If you see me falling sleep
Please don't wake me from this dream

Yeah you're talking rock and roll
Walking karaoke soul
I can see you desperate to please
Let me treat you for your disease

Faith is gone and love is gone
Your disease
And fear is stronger now
Your disease...

Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone your radio

Baby I'll call up a storm
Keep you safe from harm
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool

But this is all I can say
I have lost my way
But you only you only disappear
You only you only disappear

With a word with a line
With a smile that says goodbye
Baby says goodbye
Baby says goodbye

It's raining now
On Royal Street
And I'd walk to you
If I could trust my feet

Falling feels like flying
Until you hit the ground
And everything is beautiful
'Till you take a look around
So let it go

Turn the bow into the wave boys
I feel a storm coming in
And every bridge we build we burn
And never learn to swim
No we never learn to swim
So let it go

Lead me to the edge and watch
See how far we both can drop
Let it all just slip away
Let it fade

We'll walk to Hawaii
A final sunset on the waves
The perfect girl the perfect place
To watch the world go down in flames
Wouldn't that be a shame
So let it go

Lead me to the edge don't stop
Beauty always had a cost
And as the air slips from our lungs
We'll sing songs of love
Oh love, oh love...

The picture is burned at the edge
And you're looking away
Looking for what's next
And strange how through time we look the same
Your eyes and mine looking away
Too scared to see human remains

And soon enough soon enough
This will all be a memory
And soon enough soon enough
This will fade like the photograph
Of you and me

Our history is just in our blood
And history like love is never enough
And I recognise so much of you
In these eyes always so blue
Why always so blue

And soon enough soon enough
This will all be a memory
And soon enough soon enough
This will fade like a photograph

Those things that I've lost and things that I've sold
This case is now closed the trail has gone cold
And your sticks all are snakes i throw them aside
They twist 'til they break but they never die
This is not enough this is not enough
This is not enough this is not enough for me
This is not enough this is not enough
This is not enough for any of us to be

The picture is burned at the edge
And you're looking away looking for what's next
Tell me what's next

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold
And the night is all we have
Left to hold

Somebody sail this ship
Navigate this crowd
For what I once saw as land
I see as cloud

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared

Sometimes nothing is
The better hand
And you throw it all for this
I understand

But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared will you
Will you, will you, will you

And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Will you

You will never get close to me
You will never get close to me
This is who we are
This is who we are
You will never get close to me
Who we are...
You will never get close to me
Who we are...
