Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

Seventh Day

How the smoke get in my eye?

Awake to find the orchid died

Coincidence the seventh day

I guess that I'll be on my way

Rolling down the streets of gold

Tombstones and bulletholes

Now you're gonna ride alone in danger

Hang the phone upon the wall

Though I hate to leave you doll

On the face of one and all a stranger

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la

Let the lonely dance begin

As the night is vanishing

If you dare to let me in, it's danger

Don't you sleep in poppy fields

Don't you let the mask conceal

Don't you ever do the deal with strangers

How the blood get in my eye?

Awake to find the sun has died

Find the key, unlock my cage

Break the back that bore my rage

In the dirt and choking sin

Let the freezing night begin

Try to rise above the din, it stains ya

Like the soldier on the wall

Like the lonely lemur call

Like a thing that creep and crawl, it's danger

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la

How the smoke get in my eye?

Awake to find the orchid died

Coincidence the seventh day

I guess that I'll be on my way

Rolling down the streets of gold

Tombstones and bulletholes

Now you're gonna ride alone in danger

Hand the phone upon the wall

Though I hate to leave you doll

On the face of one and all a stranger

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, ah

La la la la la la la
