k** the vultures - Coins On The Open Eyes lyrics

[Verse 1] If i walk blind They'll lay me down in chalk lines The spot's mine if i travel with a soft spine The city's hungry Everyone is fair game Spare change ain't blood money to a pair of fangs The air hangs like sneakers on the phone wire Too thick to breathe in Too thick to go higher They sound like angels Voices out the black church Tracked dirt inside didn't notice 'til the last verse Amazing Grace lay your hands on my face So i can finally feel like i've abandoned my ways Trying to own land before i land in my grave How come i'm three steps ahead of you just standing in place I felt the earth move Under my blurred view The curfew, the proud Their hurt is on the curb too Swerve through with nothing but a word and disturbed truth To neglect and to serve you Bite the bullet This is gonna sting a bit Come to think of it This the iceberg to sink your ship No signs of life by daylight Ask the hangman if he ever gets stage fright Eyes rolling back like a slot machine Must've been the two-faced woman i got caught between The poison could've used a little seasoning Lies blinded both eyes but f** it You can leave 'em in Made a mess out of something so beautiful I'm trying to get front row tickets to my funeral Just to see the look on my face when my maker came Then throw my ashes like paper planes Make it rain Just another ghost on the night beat Gangs are half-dead walking 'round under white sheets I promise i won't promise you nothin' And you can have it all Now isn't that something [Chorus] Coins on the open eyes Flies in the open mouth Alone how i came in That's how i'm going out
