Hoffman Lauren Blood Lyrics

Blood Lyrics

I need to be alone tonight,

This city and her streets,

A cardboard
sign reads help me

And I walk on,

And I run.

I touch you and
you feel me,

I'm a river, I'm burning, I'm a thief,

I leave you and
your skin and your beauty,

I leave you and your beauty and your teeth.

Can you see this blaze flared up,

From the spark of you,

Now
this trick I've played makes me your slave,

I'll burn you out, I'll start
again.

I saw my name in your hand,

I turned around and ran,

But to you or from you it's all the same,

To you or from you it's the
same thing.

He says we're all alone,

He builds himself a home,

He builds it out of hair and teeth and fingernails and bones,

He hides
it in his heart,

Then he tears it all apart,

He plasters all the
pieces up with glue and calls it art,

He's a man with two left shoes,

He's a pretty cockatoo,

His song is full of sadness but he's beautiful
in blue.

I need to be alone tonight,

Alone tonight.
