Red Red Wine

Deadest streets

Ever seen,

Deadest hearts

And the cancer that grew in between

Blackest flesh

In our chests,

Blackest nights

And a dream's the only thing we have left

And that's that ill fated day

When it all fades to gray

The skies just bawl

And destroy us all

But I've been where that's just fine

And it's like that all the time

It's dead as dirt

And it thrives on hurt

And they owe

What they've built

To our hearts

And the spears of pain we're using as stilts

We're looking 'round,

We'll never find

Perfect things

And all this squinting is leaving us blind

Futile days,

Aging skin,

And we watch

As innocence is falling to sin

'Cause I've seen starts turn to ends,

And seen the weakening of men

And red wine hopes

Go up in smoke

And young eyes under the moon

In midnight skies dark and blue

Torn to tears

And wasted years

So pass the bottle old friend,

We'll numb our hearts 'til the end

And raise a toast

To our sullen ghosts

When the tears fall like leaves

The losing team still believes

"We've got a shot"

In this pointless plot

And the warmth

Of a human mouth,

It relates

To the number of tales it's spewed out

Plus our bones

Are meant to break,

They reform,

The heart should follow suit for god's sake

And our bones

Mend and break,

They reform,

The heart should follow suit for God's sake

You're a pure setting sun

And the white moonlight hung

In evergreens

And winter scenes

And young eyes under that moon

In midnight skies dark and blue

Are torn to tears

And wasted years
