Taking The Knot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the nights cold
Angels will fall
All up and down this lonesome highway
There is blood on the street
We ain't got nothing to eat
And if you're not riding with me, you're in my way
If this dogs on your trail then you know you'll be caught
If you get in my way
Then you're taking the knot
You gave me your heart, but I left it to rot
My love is a beast
Now you're taking the knot
Fuck all of you
Walk a mile in my shoes
They are full of needles, broken glass, and razorblades
The days are all the same and the nights are filled with pain
And if you're not riding with me, you're in my way
You stood up to me like some fucking big shot
Then left here in tears after taking the knot
Some find out that they aren't as tough as they thought
You came for a fight
Now you're taking the knot
When the nights cold
Angels will fall
All up and down this lonesome highway
There is blood on the street
We ain't got nothing to eat
And if you're not riding with me, you're in my way
Our instincts are for violence and animal lust
Our flame burns a moment then we return to dust
