Intro + Blood Like Wine (Live At Ancienne, Belgique 2014)
I don't know what this is all about But I remember when we first met and children gathered around our bed with torches and shaking their fist, for everyone was pissed, for us matching up like this.
Walking through these same old streets. If you screw your heart like that, then I can help you for a start and leave for a change of scenery. Just tell me how long
Now I know what this was all about. 'Cause I've heard about the smart people coming and they're moving fast and they all talk about your looks and the lovers that you passed and their last breath they drew when you walked out on them, you see. If I consider it to stay then you will do it anyway and leave for a change of scenery. Just tell me how long
.
How long since I got some sleep How long since she grew her hair to keep The night from getting colder for The owl living upon her shoulder
('Cause) One way or the other she will drink my blood like wine The only question left is whether that day the horns will sound (And) One way or the other it will keep me dragging on For hell knows how long
(And) Now the carnival band is gone This land reaching from the riverside where it begins to the hour where it ends It belongs to me or at least that's what she pretends
(And) One way or the other she will drink my blood like wine The only question left is whether that day the horns will sound (And) One way or the other it will keep me dragging on For hell knows how long
Like the oldest was sent ahead of the other In the middle of a small town where everybody sleeps with friend and enemy one after the other Yeah baby that's where we were born for each other
Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced
