[Verse 1]
Got a wine-soaked heart
And whiskey-soaked lips
Don't know how to get to you
But I know how to get my kicks
Out in the cold, the cold and damp
Out on the streets just like a tramp
There's a siren in the distance
And it's screaming my name

[Refrain]
Blood side out, I can't win
I'm down again

[Verse 2]
Something illegal is on my mind
But it ain't murder
Took all I can take, I ain't broke, I might break
Don't go no further
These streets they're littered
With faces the same
And all these strangers
Strangers have no names

[Refrain]
Blood side out, I'm going in
I'm down, I'm down again
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 3]
Got a wine-soaked heart
And whiskey-soaked lips
The country may be in your bones
But the city's in your hips
There's a siren in the distance
Screaming my name, my name

[Refrain]
Blood side out, I can't win
I'm down again, down again

[Outro]
Blood side out, will it ever end?
I'm down, I'm down again
