Black Star Riders

Bloodshot

Just before the sun comes up

And floods the wailing wall

She makes love to forget herself

He makes love to recall

There’s a trail of total carnage

In the rear view when he looks

There’s a tale of fear and loathing

In each chapter of this book

So give me something to celebrate

No matter what the cost

There’s a battle raging inside of us

When emerald eyes are lyin’

They’re bloodshot

The damage isn’t visible

When she shines a naked flame

The story barely credible

But he tells it justthe same

He talks of far off promised land

Every time he comes around

He whispers darling bend your knees

Before we hit the ground

So give me something to celebrate

No matter what the cost

There’s a battle raging inside of us

When emerald eyes are lyin’

They’re bloodshot

You know he’s got it easy

She just sits down and waits

While arrows land on bloody skin

Beyond the city gates

He’d have made the journey with her

But he got the needle stuck

She’s running out of time

He’s running out of luck

Someday it all may come to pass

Someday a journey’s end

Bright light city memories

Of lovers and old friends

There’s a snowstormon the table

A carpet made of glass

There’s a heartbeat like a kick drum

There’s a viper in the grass

So give me something to celebrate

No matter what the cost

There’s a battle raging inside of us

When emerald eyes are lyin’

They’re bloodshot
