Took a lonely feeling just to let the meaning sink Like the sun goes down Never close to heaven, felt my feet were burning From the same red hot ground There's blood on my hands There's blood on my hands Yeah, there's blood It's getting hard to listen when the clock is ticking Counting down the days gone by Praying for an answer to another question That will only leave you dry You won't understand With your head in the sand No, you won't But I'll curse the ground where you kneel Till I grow my hair to my heels Spike your water, your wine While you waste my precious time Every time I drink and try to stop my thinking 'Bout the things I've said and done Stop the world from turning faster Then I'm learning not to just hide and run You won't understand With your head in the sand No, you won't, yeah Love came and went faster than a penny spent In a slot machine Nowhere near the table, just somewhere in between you and me Sworn to secrecy And I'll curse the ground where you kneel Till I grow my hair to my heels Spike your water, your wine Yeah, there's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands There's blood on my hands, there's blood on my hands Yeah, there's blood There's blood on my hands Yeah, there's blood Took a lonely feeling just to let the meaning sink Like the sun goes down Never close to heaven, felt my feet were burning From the same red hot ground
