War in my Blood

I've got a girl

She tastes like rain on my tongue

She's got the Moon in her hips

And her eyes burn up like the Sun

When I'm gone from my girl, when I leave her alone

It ain't nothing that I'm running from

There's war in my blood

I've still got wars to be won

My baby's soft and sweet

Somewhere between a flower and a gun

And where my girl is now

Someday that's where I want to be from

But love is a dollar that's already spent

Love is a song that's we've sung

There's war in my blood

Love ain't the tune in my lungs

So here's my consolation

An opponent is enough

It takes two to go to war

And only one to fall in love

I had a girl

I know precisely what made her run

Her skin was like the sky

Made my heart beat itself like a drum

I long for my girl when we meet in my dreams

I tell her she'll always be my only one

But there's war in my blood

There ain't a thing love could have done

There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood

There's war in my blood
