slit my throat from ear to ear
or drink my blood like wine
i ain't afraid of living, boy
and i ain't afraid to die
i ain't no g****** vampire
and i ain't leaking tears
its not about them photographs
or counting out them beers
i've stood out that corner
and i've waited for that man
i've felt that beat pump through my veins
as the money changed its hands
i've walked these lonely city streets
and i've climbed these purple hills
i've stood itching and waiting
g******
g******, i'm waiting still
have you ever felt the sunrise
in your twitching, aching arms
or held your black spots in you palm
and squeezed and loved them hard?
this city's so forgiving
but this life, it ain't no living
take me home
if you've never cried in bottles
you'll cry when you get home
did you watch your life walk out the door
when you fall asleep alone?
i got my s*** together
but the lord knows where i'm going
take me home
slit my throat from ear to ear
or drink my blood like wine
i ain't afraid of living, boy
and i ain't afraid to die
i've stood on that corner
and i've waited for that man
i've felt that beat pump through these veins
when the money changed its hands
i've walked these lonely city roads
and i've climbed these purple hills
i've stood itching and waiting
