lyrics

Told them it was time attached
This could be another trick
We caught you sleeping on the forest floor
Thirty miles off the interstate
Hot blood shaking in a cage
Killing time that I can't shake
If there is any good in you, won't you show me now
And maybe we'll be friends

Guns blaze in the heart of man
Stand up if you think so
I couldn’t see it when I was younger
But now it’s all that I think about
After the show in Pittsburgh
We kissed her there on the bed
And when we shook the ancients knew that we were living up
To everything

We drank down everything we could
Cut loose like a sheet in a storm
If there is nothing to look forward to
We might as well take the burden off
Hot blood shaking in a cage
Killing time that I can't shake
If there is any good in you, won't you show me now
And maybe we'll be friends

Guns blaze in the heart of man
Stand up if you think so
I couldn’t see it when I was younger
But now it’s all that I think about
After the show in Pittsburgh
We kissed her there on the bed
And when we shook the ancients knew that we were living up
To everything

I don't want to be the one
That always has to lift you out
Of the cold that you've been ambling through

We can learn to swallow doubt
And make it do whatever we want
Baby, we will pull right through


I don't want to be the one
That always has to lift you out
Of the cold that you've been ambling through

We can learn to swallow doubt
And make it do whatever we want
Baby, we will pull right through
