we stood there older than the man
And younger than the boys
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome as a jukebox
I could be as tender as a newborn
Spittin' to the eye of a hurricane
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever, never say die
I guess you'd say we had our past
These words we knew so well
That's right, still they remain unspoken
Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother,
Cause love is just another word for trust
You gotta look up in the eye
When it's your own blood you bleed
And your own tears you cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Yeah, we could run like lightning
Then we'll be standing like the soldier
It's what it is that I want written
on the gravestone where I lie
Tell them it's just my bones that died there
So save the tears they'll cry
My spirit is still riding
As I kiss this world goodbye
You've got Lucifer in the eye
When it's your own blood you bleed
And your own tears you cry
When you're put up to believe
That it's the strong Lucifer
