Love lies bleeding in dead bouquet Dread the dripping years and wish away each day Swear I'd live through all of your nightmares If it meant that I could sleep okay She says the body is keeping score Lost in sudden death, she can't take it no more And if laughter's the medicine we need Then this misery is therapy I want the trust of every animal Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers Love lies bleeding's a sobriquet As the petals fall the pet names do the same Keep a list of what ails me Tare to the elderly skeleton inside my frame Time will come when we know that we oughta Drive to the horizon of American Water Bankrupt, a frozen donation thermometer Grab you by the hips and say It's you that I'm grateful for And I want the trust of every animal Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers To the tune of the National Anthem Of a country that didn't survive In a language I'd learned and forgotten I'll stay home, keep the garden alive And I want the trust of every animal Gonna bay for the blood of those that are hurting ya When the black cloud comes, if one flame flickers We will feast on the tongues of the last bootlickers To the tune of the National Anthem Of a country that didn't survive In a language I'd learned and forgotten I'll stay home, keep the garden alive
