I walk the streets at night,
with novocain, to dull the pain.
A broken man, a house of cards,
drunk in bars.
So I, grab my six, you turn some tricks,
I find the quickest fix.
Taking aim, get shot again,
so I know.....
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
tie me up, and get me higher.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
I'm not a lover, I'm a fighter.
I take my time, I know I'm dying,
won't stay alive, just by lying.
I can't see straight, you cannot wait,
oh yeah, I know the stakes.
So I, ride again to save that man,
a pale ghost, oh we'll both be damned.
Taking aim, get shot again,
so I know.
I can not wait for that kiss.
I taste the blood on your lips.
I caught that sway in your hips.
I can not wait for that kiss.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
tie me up, and get me higher.
Shoot that beautiful bird,
for I'm a coward, and a liar.
Find me lost in this world,
I'm not a lover, I'm a fighter.
