No Children/Blacktop
[Intro]
I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
Oh, I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
But we're pretty sure they're all wrong
Oh, I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
I hope you blink before I do
Oh, I hope I never get sober

I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way

'Cause I am drowning
Thеre is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovablе hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

[Verse 1]
Do you think that there's a way I could ever get too far
That you'd ask me where I'd been
Like I ask you where you are?
But I know you're in the pews
The same as stools around the bar
And I know I saw your hand
When I went out and wrapped my car
Streetlamp, around the streetlamp
[Verse 2]
So I wrote you love letters
And sung them in my house
And all around the South
The broken strings and amplifiers scream with holy noise
In hopes to draw you out
But if no one sings along in praise
Are you still proud when I open my mouth?

[Chorus]
Come visit me, come visit me
In the back of an ambulance
For the saline communion
That I held like a séance
On the blacktop

[Bridge]
For the devil in my arms
Says feed me to the wolves tonight

[Chorus]
And come visit me
In the back of an ambulance
For the saline communion
That I held like a séance
