The Bloodline

Please heed a man who has no past - take his body break his mind - don't tell him if he's sinking fast - another one down and he'll believe he's doing fine - he makes just like a serenader - the past too close behind - riding high and proud on cold slow faders - in benediction to the bloodline - jacked up to the bloodline

They come sailing through the darkness - no fee her benediction's free - and well you know the price is madness - just another kind of lock and key - If you hear, the angels call you - lay your ear on solid ground - and if she cries out - davey - davey - davey - swear he's not around - fix me in the bloodline

One day I know you'll follow - sculpting out of time - rhythms of tomorrow's need and the love we leave behind - hostage to the bloodline

Drawn into dreamtime - where we play each others parts - "Behind the Lines" foreshadowing - all these secrets in our pagan hearts - dark ecstasies and anguish - we've known heartache and hurt - but you cannot fuck with destiny lying six feet under dirt - fix me in the bloodline

Could I move you with a story? - could I fix you with a line? - so disfigured by your memories - your eyes filled up with mine - your eyes eclipse in mine

So shameless in the face of life - whose heart just missed a beat - Me? I play myself and kid myself I'm a hard act - a hard act to repeat - You can't escape your bloodline - Dedicate it to the bloodline
