Well, won't you lend your lungs to me?
Mine are collapsing.
Land my feet and bitterly breathe up the time that's passing.
[D]
Breath I'll [Em] take and breath I'll [D] give and pray that it ain't [Em] poison. _
Stand among the ones that live in lonely indecision. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Let fingers walk the darkness down, mind is on the midnight.
Gather up the gold [E] you found, you fool, it's only murder [D] and life.
If you try to take it home, your hands will [Em] turn to butter.
You better leave this dream alone to try to find another. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Salvation sat and crossed herself and called the devil partner.
Wisdom burned upon a ship who killed a raging cancer.
Seal the river at its mouth, take the water prisoner.
Fill the sky with screams and cries bathed in fiery answer.

_ _ _ _ Well, Jesus was an only son and love his only concept.
But strangers crying foreign tongues can dirty up the doorstep.
An eye for one and you for [D] two, ain't got the [Em] time for outside.
Just keep your injured looks to you, we'll tell the world that we tried.
