Lovesong of Blood (Covered in the Blood of Another)
[THE MUSICIAN]
I'm hurt
Got no coat
The rattlesnake hisses
The dirt
In my throat
Don't taste like kisses
So I try
So very hard
To imagine you're near
And I cry
Broken and scarred
When I realize you're not here
And realize I'm covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
I'm covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
I wish you would come to me
I wish you would come to me
My girl come just for me
[?]
He, he, he, he
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
I cut
And of course
My body thinks I betrayed it
But each sound
Is divorced
From the movement that made it
And replaced
Every night
With the sound of your song
And when
We reunite
I hope you have [?]
When I'm covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
Covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
I wish you would come to me
I wish you would come to me
My man come just for me
[?]
He, he, he, he
[THE MUSICIAN]
And I lay my hands on the ground
And it's soft and it's warm
Just like you
I lay my hands on the ground
And I hope somewhere
That you do too
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
[?]
Performing acts of contrition
For acts that I did not commit
[THE MUSICIAN]
Please don't [?]
Have faith in my mission
I promise that I will not quit
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
Don't you quit
[THE MUSICIAN]
I won't quit
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
Don't you quit
[THE MUSICIAN]
I won't quit
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
Don't you quit
[THE MUSICIAN]
I won't quit
[BOTH]
'Till I'm no longer covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
Covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
[THE MUSICIAN]
I wish it was
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
Wish it was
[BOTH]
Covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was yours
Covered
In the blood of another
I wish it was
[ALL]
Yours
Ahh
Ahh
Da da da da
Da
[THE MUSICIAN]
I lay my hands on the ground
And I hope somewhere
That you do too
[SANTA VIOLETTA]
I lay my hands on the ground
And I hope somewhere
That you do too
[BOTH]
I rub the ground on my skin
And I hope somewhere
That you do too
I know way deep somewhere within
I just covered my body
With you
