lyrics

Give me blood and give me warmth
There's a calm beneath the storm
But I see thunderclouds and I didn't hear the warning

Vinegar is in my tears
Weeping for a thousand years
Call your name 'til the night turns into morning

And I burn inside
And I burn in hell
Can I turn the tide
Can I make our shell

I break so many bones
When I'm climbing to the top of your wishing well
I try so hard to stop, but I just can't help myself

I stake my claim to you
But I'm gonna tell you, babe, that my aim is true
My quiver's full of silver arrows just for you

Mannequin with painted eyes
Wearing such a cheap disguise
I'm onto you and the game you're playing

Give me nickels for a dime
Give me space and give me time
But I still won't smile because you're not staying

And I burn inside
And I burn in hell
Can I turn the tide
Can I make our shell

I break so many bones
When I'm climbing to the top of your wishing well
I try so hard to stop, but I just can't help myself

I stake my claim to you
But I'm gonna tell you, babe, that my aim is true
My quiver's full of silver arrows just for you

I've cried so many nights
I may be just a poor man, but I've got my rights
I'll never tell a secret, let me hold you tight tonight.
