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
