"when the blood dries" lyrics

"when the blood dries"

For all your escaping well
Well I thought you would understand
That your fate's no replacement for the dollars that you've condemned

Take you to the rooftop
They will leave you higher still
Take you to their wall and tell the troops to fire at will

And it all goes right down the river tonight
Like a fake talk magic man
Food, dope, fucking you can get whatever you want
You can get it for a couple of grand

You take your chances while the sun might set
But no matter how ferocious
That the gunfight gets
The promised land I hear is merely one ride west
Haven't had time to take but when the blood dries let's

And it all goes right down the river tonight
Like a fake talk magic man
Food, dope, fucking you can get whatever you want
You can get it for a couple of grand

And the sunlight spills on the heavenly hills
But it puts no food in your hands
It's been a long long time on this morning of mine
Well it's always been like that
Been like that

And it all goes right down the river tonight
Like a fake talk magic man
Fool don't fuck him you can get whatever you want
You can get it for a couple of grand

And the sunlight spills on the heavenly hills
But it puts no food in your hands
It's been a long long time on this morning of mine
Well it's always been like that
Been like that
