Bandaged Knees

Sittin' lone inside my head

No mirrors to reflect

Is this here the season of joy

Or the season to inject

Lord this must be judgment day

Take a close look at myself

Are you happy?

With the hand that you've been dealt

[Chorus:]

The bells they toll silently

Inflict invisible pain

Tell me which is more righteous

Chivas Regal or cocaine

Friends won't answer your phone calls

Call your long distance family

Well I hope someone is listening

As I sing on bandaged knees

On this holy day

I took to the skies

Are you tryin' to find yourself

Or just rearrange the time

Open up your spirit boy

Pass that liquid love

Do you prefer possessions

Or the purity of the dove

[Chorus]

Sing to me my little sister of mercy

Inspiration of my life

You know I can't stand the pain

But you know that I never cry

I play for you my love song

Sung only for the damned

I wish I could spend tonight with you

But you know that I can't

Look inside my black lines

Telling stories without couth

You might not like what they say

Cause they only speak the truth

Play for me tarot

Slip my neck through the belt

You can't change the ways of the game

When the cards are already dealt

[Chorus]
