Long Life Without You
It's gonna be a full moon when I set out tonight
It's gonna be an empty bottle when I'm done
I got two short minutes 'til my time is up
but it'll be a long race when it's run.
I got razor blades in my brain tonight
I got evil spirits in my beer
But it'll be no sharp knife
Come and take my life.
I'll be a little boy in the morning
I'll be a madman tomorrow night
And if the words I say don't give me away
Then I'll be slipping out of sight.
It'll be a cold day down below
When you don't get where you want to go
And deep inside I know
Deep inside I know
It was gonna be love
To hold us in this mad mad world
It was gonna be us instead of two
It was gonna be magic and sparks
But instead it's all dark
And it's gonna be a long life without you...
I'm gonna eat hate and nails for my bread tonight
I'm gonna drink gunpowder and gin
I'll be watching like a hawk and my door will be unlocked
In case you should come wandering in.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
