Mark Kozelek - If You Want Blood [compilation] (2001) by Mark Kozelek (보컬) on maniadb.com

where i remember you clear
meet me at night, St. Louis, Missouri
where i first saw you

there is a scent that lingers around me
find me wherever i go
there are the pictures, sad but so pretty
lakes and sunsets

find me asleep near deserts and oceans
places i couldn?t have dreamed
they are all cold and frozen without you
they are nothing

chase me down Sycamore
like you did not long before
play your old brown guitar
and shine so bright

there is a trail that winds 'round the river
there is a bench on the ground
those are the beds and the rooms that we slept in
those are the songs we found

find me in streets searching for something
something somehow that i lost
find me in life aching for someone
someone as good

look for me like you did
on the days i ran and hid
bring your old gifts you brought
and find me

there is a world, big as a mountain
there is a world to be shared
still there is love, tall as a mountain
still there is love

you can roll me if i'm blind
you can roll me, roll me, roll me
i'm the easy rolling kind
but the thing we've faced down hill
there's something new to see
you can lose your grip and slip
but you don't got a hold on me

you don't got a hold on me
you don't got a hold on me
why don't you let me be, babe
why don't you let me be

you can take me to your bedroom
you can take me to your heart
you can take me up to the hill
but I won't fall apart
but don't count on me giving this
all back to you
just because i'm hooked on living
don't mean I'm hooked on you

you ain't got a hold on me, babe
you don't got a hold on me
why don't you let me be, babe
why don't you let me be
why don't you let me be
you don't got a hold on me

Flash your smile and face at me
Open your eyes wide at me
Lay down every day with me
Until the long gone days

Speak a native tongue to me
Say some funny things to me
Roll around and laugh with me
Until the long gone days

Take me around the city streets
Find us pretty things to eat
Find us something good to drink
But buy me one more day

One more day to know this place
To kiss your sweet koala face
To love you deep into the night
To feel you underneath me

Doesn't take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days, turn into months
Turn into years, they hurry by me
But still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around

Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future, I've had many
Dreams I can't remember now
Hopes that I've forgotten, faded memories
But still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around

And I love to see the morning as it steals across the sky
I love to remember and I love to wonder why
And I hope that I'm around so I can be there when I die
When I'm gone

I hope that you will think of me
In moments when you're happy and you're smiling
That the thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days if you are crying
And that you'll love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around

and there was trouble brewing in my home town
it was the seventh day, i felt like satan's son
and i scared the ghost out of everyone

they said stop and i said go
they said yes and i said no
they said fast and i said slow

being bad ain't so bad
i've known more pretty women than most men had
so won't you all come along with me
and i'll show you how fun that bad can be

they said right and i said left
they said east and i said west
oh, they said up and i said down

i tell you a story, it ain't no lie
i was born to love 'til the day I die
so you can line 'em up, i'll knock 'em down
'till they all come tumbling, tumbling down

they said up and i said down
they said sleep but i roam
oh, they said lost and i said found

I grew so old in that house I lived in
They brought me here 'cause I can't take care
I lost my worth and my purpose here
I feel you cry, but I can't speak my mind
Will you hold me and never let me go?
'Cause I hated when you walk outside that door
'Cause I know I won't ever see your eyes
The eyes I gave you

When my eyes shut, they'll take me to the land
For fifty years I lived there with my man
And on my own, I lived for forty more
I watched you grow up from babies on the floor
To the beautiful women that you are
And I hated that you've gone away so far
'Cause I know I won't ever see those eyes
The eyes I gave you

The evenings fall, they'll drag me out the hall
Up to my bunk and drug me 'til I'm numb
But pass the haze, I see your pretty face
Remember me when I'm gone
You know I love you, though I can hardly say
And I hate it when you see me in this way
But in darkness, I'll always see those eyes
The eyes I gave you

up to my neck in strife
up to my neck in misery
for most of my life i've been a fool
and you know what a fool can do

you came around when I needed you
now I'm up to my neck in you

up to my neck in pleasure
up to my neck in pain
up to my neck on a railroad track
waitin' for the trains to come on through
oh, you knew my time was due

you came around and you pulled me through
now I'm up to my neck in you

up to my neck in whiskey
up to my neck in wine
up to my neck in wishing
that this life wasn't mine
what can I do
oh, what can I do

you did what no one else would do
now I'm up to my neck in you

and i didn't know your name
and if you were legal tender
well, i'd spent you just the same
i didn't know it could happen to me
love in the third degree

it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel, it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel

they told me it was disgusting
they told me it was a sin
every night at your front door
i'd smile when you let me in
now it's you and me baby
in your house all alone
better make things happen
before your mum and dad get home

it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel, it was love at first feel
it was love at first feel

You're the one I waited for
I needed love more and more
I don't know what your name is
I don't know what your game is
I'm gonna take you tonight
Animal appetite
I'm a love hungry man
I'm a love hungry man
Yea i'm a love hungry man
I'm a love hungry man

I don't need a conversation
I just want sweet sensation
I tell you what i'm gonna do
I'll make a meal out of you
Love hungry man
Yea i'm a love hungry man
Yea i'm a love hungry man
Yea i'm a love hungry man

and there was trouble brewing in my home town

Tied my baby to the railroad track
Train rolling down the line
Givin' that woman just one more chance
To give it to me one more time
Engineer wishin' he was home in bed
Dreamin' about casey jones
Wide-eyed woman with a hole in her head
Crying over broken bones
It's your love that i want
It's your love that i need
It's your love got to have
Baby it's your love

Everybody flying across the sky
Superman was out of town
Come on honey gotta change your tune
It's a long way down
Clark kent looking for a free ride
Thinking about lois lane
Be it a bird, or a man, or a suicide
That'd be a shame
It's your love that i want
It's your love that i need
It's your love got to have
Baby it's your love

Long arm looking for fingerprint
Trying to find a mystery clue
Giving me that third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright, officer, i confess
Everything is coming back
I didn't mean to kill that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
It's your love that i want
It's your love that i need
It's your love got to have
It's your love guaranteed

It's your love that i want
It's your love that i need
It's your love got to have
Baby baby it's your love

Take a chance with me give it a try
Ain't no woman in the world I know
Cause I ain't looking for overflow
Baby I ain't got much
Resistance to your touch
Take off the high heels and let down your hair
Paradise ain't far from there

I'm gonna walk all over you
Walk all over you

Reflections on the bedroom wall
Risin', fallin' you'd seen it all
Risin', fallin' like the sea
You look so good under me

Baby I ain't got much
Resistance to your touch
Take off the high heels and let down your hair
Paradise ain't far from there

I'm gonna walk all over you
Walk all over you

It's criminal
There ought to be a law
Criminal
It ought to be a whole lot more
You get nothin' for nothin'
Baby, who can you trust?
I got what you want
And, baby, you got the lust

If you want blood
Baby you got it
If you want blood
You got it

Blood in the streets
Blood on the rocks
Blood in the gutter
Every last drop
You want blood

It's animal
Livin' in a human zoo
Animal
All the shit they toss to you
Feelin' like a prisoner
Locked in a cage
Thrown to lions
On a second phase

If you want blood
Baby, you got it
If you want blood
You got it

Blood in the sheets
Blood in the sky
Blood in the gutter
Every last drop
You want blood

You see it on tv every day
Hear it on the radio
It ain't humid, but it sure is hot
Down in mexico
The weatherman is tryin' to tell me
That it ain't the end
But i see the storm comin'
And i know it ain't my friend
Riff raff
Ain't it a laugh
Riff raff
Always good for a laugh

I'm the kind of guy
That keeps my mouth shut
Don't make a difference to me
So don't bother me when i'm up
And leave me in misery
I never hurt nobody
Don't even carry a gun
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong
I'm just havin' fun
Riff raff
Ain't it a laugh
Riff raff
Always good for a laugh
