Blood

Tindersticks

Lyrics

Was there once something so pure

That left me whole and precious?

But now, broken, wondering

Why this new ingredient?

Everything I crave I become

Everything I left forgotten

Everything I love I become

'Cause that's what happens when you reach the bottom

[Chorus]

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken lives

Where does the blood go?

It runs away from broken lives

There's an ugly crowd here beside me

They specialize in violations

Once they numbered only a handful

Grew out of the ashes of what we had good

There'll be another awkward scene tonight

As we choose to ignore the obvious

Quickly averting our eyes

When we see what there is left of

[Chorus]

Our love hangs here beside us

From its feet, twitching, desperate

The juice that splashes our white boots

Now they're matted and confused

There'll be another ugly scene tonight

As we refuse to accept the obvious

We panic and jump up and down

Trying to suck those last breaths

[Chorus]
