Heart String Blues

歌詞

It is spitting like an open fire in a dark alleyway It is sitting on the shoulder of every yesterday It is shining a light in your eyes It is checking every one of your new alibis It is rising like the evening tide around an old shipwreck It is tightening that pretty little noose around your neck Oh and any second now it will choose Yeah any second now all hell will break loose So keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe All of the thousands of you come down with the heart string blues It is preaching all the virtues of love and providence It would sell your soul for a sad song but it won't pay your rent It is raising those old rebel flags It is picking though your long buried ashes and rags So keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe All of the thousands of you come down with the heart string blues It is singing its songs for the injured and dispossessed It is pointing that twelve gauge of truth straight at your chest Though it's been broken more times than you know It's blue and it's bleeding, it's got a mind of its own So keep it safe keep it safe keep it safe Keep it safe, keep it safe, keep it safe All of the thousands of you come down with the heart string blues All of the thousands of you come down with the heart string blues
