Just a little rush babe
to feel dizzy
To derail the mind of me
Just a little hush babe
Our veins are busy
But my heart's in atrophy
Any way
to distract and sedate
Adding shadows
to the walls of the cave
You and I nursing on a
poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are
lined with the scum of it
Somewhere for this
Death and guns
We are deaf
We are numb
Free and young and
we can feel none of it
Something isn't right babe
I keep catchin' little words
But the meaning's thin
I'm somewhere outside my
life babe
I keep scratchin'
But somehow I can't get in
So we're slaves to any
semblance of touch
Lord we should quit
But we love it too much
Sedated we're nursing on a
poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are
lined with the scum of it
Somewhere for this
Death and guns
We are deaf
We are numb
Free and young and
we can feel none of it
Darlin' don't you
stand there watchin'
Won't you
come and save me from it
Darlin' don't you join in
You're supposed to
drag me away from it
Any way
to distract and sedate
Adding shadows
to the walls of the cave
You and I nursing on a
poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are
lined with the scum of it
Somewhere for this
Death and guns
We are deaf
We are numb
Free and young and
we can feel none of it
Sedated we're nursing on a
poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are
lined with the scum of it
Somewhere for this
Death and guns
We are deaf
We are numb
Free and young and
we can feel none of it
