R.L. Burnouts Inc.

Slit my throat from ear to ear

And drink my blood like wine

I ain't afraid of living boy

And I ain't afraid to die



I ain't no goddamn vampire

And I ain't leaking tears

It's not about them photographs

Or counting out them beers



I've stood out on that corner

And I've waited for that man

I've felt the beat pump through my veins

As the money changed its hands



I've walked these lonely city streets

I've climbed these purple hills

I've stood itching and waiting

Goddamn, I'm standing still



Have you ever felt the sun rise

In twitching aching arms?

Or held your black spots in your palm

And squeezed and loved 'em hard



My city's so forgiving

But this life, it ain't no living

Take me home



You never cry in bottles

You cry when you get home

When you watch your life walk out the door

And you fall asleep alone



I got my shit together but lord knows where I'm going

Take me home
