Blood Is Blood
Tinkerbell, my winged friend, I think we got it wrong. No fairy tale or happy ending, just prehistoric songs. A crystal in my baby's eyes, I want what I can't love So now i've learnt how to despise, I think i've learnt enough If blood is blood, then blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But i've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire It drags you down, this cheap desire. We all want something, maybe beauty, Maybe more Absolution, constitution, leave it all behind Take off your shirt, your worried face, and let me lose your mind. I thought that I might change the world, but all I changed was me.. So now I sleep most days and think of where this all might lead. Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But i've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire It drags you down, this cheap desire We all want something, maybe beauty, Maybe more Blood will rain a little, Down each mountainside - Every cloud will bring you Here. Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - That's all it does, that's all it knows But i've one question, I want something, I want more. So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire So flesh is flesh, and it twists the soul It drags you down, this cheap desire Like a tourniquet, like a begging bowl We all want something, maybe beauty, Like some long forbidden treasure in the dirt Maybe more Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow - Blood is Blood, and it's on our hands That's all it does, that's all it knows That's the price of grace for the common man But i've one question, I want something, For that one good hour you pay with all your life I want more. I want more. Aus Songtexte Mania
