When Your Number Isn’t Up
[Verse 1]
Did you call for the night porter?
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border
So close I can hit it with a stone
[Verse 2]
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don't see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
[Bridge]
No one needs to tell you that
There's no use for you here anymore
And where are your friends?
They've gone away
It's a different world and they left you to this
To janitor the emptiness
So let's get it on
[Verse 3]
When the sun is finally going down
And you're overdue to follow
But you're still above the ground
What you've got coming
Is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
[Verse 4]
Did they call for the night porter?
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well, I've been waiting at this frozen border
So close you could hit it with a stone
