Lyrics

The last time that I saw you, august of '99
I should've had my hammer and a few rusty spikes
To nail you on a wall and use bottles to catch your blood
And display you for the neighbors so they know your time had come
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
As it heads for my heart
And as your body sags and the stench rises in vain
The people on the street are collecting in dismay
Before your eyes your head lifts towards the sky
And that's the last thing they'll remember of you
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
As it heads for my heart
You've become a ghost
You're floating somewhere in between
The waking world and a landscape of dreams
Well it's nothing but dying
You've got a grenade stuck in your teeth and you're pulling at the pin
You're an illusion, just a shadow flickering underneath the sun
And I'd drink your blood and feel it dripping down my throat
As it heads for my heart
