I'm a
great oas is
Yeah I'm a mirage
I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star
and I'll only guide you into the dark
I'm a parasite with a tapeworm
Yeah I got a bulletproof vest
Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die so
the good will never get any rest
Come bail me out of the state I'm in
The drinks I've had are
no match for the truth
The crowd down here put
its teeth in us
But the cure's more dan
gerous than the venom is
So we leave it in and do those things that
make us forget that we're dying here
Oh but we're dying here
So love the blood while you can
Let it warm your freez
ing hands
I'm a dog less master
I'm a masterless dog
And when the whip and the
tether are put aside forever
I'm and ox that wanders
into the swamp
I'm a rattlesnake across
a braided rope
I'm the demon on your
side of the chalk
If they caught them girls
who started them fires
Yeah they'll track me down in the fo g
Come bail me out
of the state I'm in
The drinks I've had are no
match for the truth
The crowd down here put
its teeth in us
But the cure's more dangerous
than the venom is
So we leave it in and do those
things that make us forget
that we're dying here
Oh but we're dying here
So love the blood while you can
Let it warm your freezing hands
You put a hex on me wo
man
You're a thinner (x2)
And these are nuclear win ters
Atomic black winters
I've kept the fire alive
because I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner
Come here and let me boil your blood
I'm a train as long
as the track
I am concurrently outbound and just
now getting back
They struck me up by a rope
as tall as the trees
Though I land on my own two feet I
still sway in the breeze
