Lyrics The Blood Brothers

The Blood Brothers

Meet Me at the Water Front After the Social

Do you recall when we were young? (At the waterfront after the social)

We licked the summer's salty tongue (At the waterfront after the social)

Do you remember in our youth? (At the waterfront after the social)

We sought the sky's amphetamine truth (At the waterfront after the social)

A carnie sold me two roses

One that lisped one that hissed sugar foam

And love song needles

I slipped them through your fingers

But they just crawled up both your arms and whispered

And that phosphorescent laugh

Drip dropped from your lips

They said "oh teen ruby fiend, open those thighs

Show me the urchin inside!"

Your gown gangrened down your hips (At the waterfront after the social)

Reached out towards the oyster ships (At the waterfront after the social)

I pulled you closer for a kiss (At the waterfront after the social)

But the roses paved my lips

And made my mouth a grave filled with promises...

"I'll forget you when I'm famous baby...

I'll forget you five minutes from now..."

Do you recall in our youth?

We sought the sky's amphetamine truth

Do you remember when we were young?

We licked the summer's salty tongue
