I'm tired of being down
Gonna scorch this city
Burn my mark into the f*cking ground
But the morning comes and it always hurts
So you scrape away the blood and you dust off the dirt
Don't scratch too hard at the bedbug bites
There will always be another night
Sleep-filled days beget fitful nights
And the light shines bright
Don't be afraid of the highway sound
It will speed you away into the next go-round
Brainwash for washing and Tempest for drinking
And I sleep above the elk
Where the city opens up like a gaping welt
I sleep above the elk
And I've got my wounds and I've got my skills
I'm hunting with the hawks now out in the hills
And I go to the bars and I talk to the old men
It's good to be back home again
What you've lost, you can't get back
But you can always make a fresh attack
Punch that train when you're tied to the track
You can make a fresh attack
They watch me all night and they f*cking follow me home
But they can't get blood from a stone
They'll never get blood out of a stone
Stare me down, try to strip me to the bone
But you won't get blood from a stone
You'll never get blood out of a stone
I'm tired of being down
Gonna scorch this city
Burn my mark into the f*cking ground
But the morning comes and it always hurts
So you scrape away the blood and you dust off the dirt
And go chasing the night into a darker dawn
And on and on and on
Go chasing the light into a darker dawn
And on and on and on
