Cold Blood

I’ve got a girl

She only puts out water

In the night, in the day and in the morning

Wakes me up

I shake her to the bone to calm her down

To stop the mourning

I’ve got a heart that only fills me up with cold blood

I’ve got a brain that only fills me with confusion

Oh lord

I’ve got some time

I fill it up with lies that I repeat to myself to keep on going

I’ve got a life

Man it’s filled up with the sorrow of a thousand other men with sin’s atoning

I’ve got a heart that only fills me up with cold blood

I’ve got a brain that only fills me with illusions

Oh lord, my lord

Oh lord

Go to bed

I put the bottle down but still it calls me from down the hall And up the stairs

It says come on let’s go around and when I go it takes me all the way

I’ve got a heart that only fills me up with cold blood

I’ve got a brain that never gives me no solution

Oh lord

I’ve got some cash

I borrowed from a man that didn’t know he was lending

I held him dear and I held that money near

It disappeared

Just blew off in the wind

I’ve got a heart that only fills me up with cold blood

I’ve got a brain that only fills me with illusions

Oh lord, my lord

Now my girl

She fills me up with water

In the night, in the day and in the morning

Shakes me up and wakes me to the bone

It’s not enough to stop the mourning

I’ve got a heart that only pumps me up with cold blood

I’ve got a brain that only fills me with confusion

Oh lord, my lord
