Blood Is Blood

Tinkerbelle, my winged friend, I think we got it wrong.

No fairy tale or happy ending, just prehistoric songs.

A crystal in my baby's eyes, I want what I can't love

So now I've learnt how to despise, I think I've learnt enough.....

If blood is blood, then blood will flow -

That's all it does, that's all it knows

But I've one question, I want something,

I want more.

So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire

It drags you down, this cheap desire.

We all want something, maybe beauty,

Maybe more

Absolution, constitution, leave it all behind

Take off your shirt, your worried face, and let me lose your mind.

I thought that I might change the world, but all I changed was me..

So now I sleep most days and think of where this all might lead.

Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow -

That's all it does, that's all it knows

But I've one question, I want something,

I want more.

So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire

It drags you down, this cheap desire

We all want something, maybe beauty,

Maybe more......

Blood will rain a little,

Down each mountainside -

Every cloud will bring you

Here.

Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow -

That's all it does, that's all it knows

But I've one question, I want something,

I want more.

So flesh is flesh, an urgent fire

(So flesh is flesh, and it twists the soul)

It drags you down, this cheap desire

(Like a tourniquet, like a begging bowl)

We all want something, maybe beauty,

(Like some long forbidden treasure in the dirt

Maybe more

Oh blood is blood, and blood will flow -

(Blood is Blood, and it's on our hands)

That's all it does, that's all it knows

(That's the price of grace for the common man)

But I've one question, I want something,

(For that one good hour you pay with all your life)

I want more.

I want more
