Drown

It's all the past-tense beautiful ones
 They're working in these bars
 They keep the lights dimmed down down down
 In the hope that the years don't grow
 And they raised up their eyes in revolution
 And they open up their mouths
 A gutter baptism won't ever save you baby
 But it won't be suicide if you drown
 I'm too young to hate the games you play my friend
 And I'm too old to turn you down
 You want a love what leaves bruises where he pleases
 I'll try
 And all the young ones if they're still young enough to run
 They're better than me still
 Their hungry eyes seek out the strongest longest best
 But they're just angry at the rest
 They open up their thighs in revolution
 And they open up their mouths
 Some will learn to fight down down upon their knees
 Most will just drown
 I'm too old to play the games you play my friend
 But I'm too young to turn them down
 You want a love what leaves bruises where he pleases
 I'll try
 And yet you always cut the deepest
 And yet you always fly away
 Dry out your flesh on me
 They will burn you anyways
 They will burn you anyways
 They will burn you anyways
 ♪
 And what of me and all this noise I bring
 I'm still working in these bars
 I keep the lights dimmed down down down down
 In the hope that the years don't show
 I raised up my voice in revolution
 And I opened up my mouth
 One more angel in these legions
 I'm just waiting to be drowned
 Out
 And I will always cut the deepest
 And I will always fly away
 Dry out your flesh on me
 I will love you anyways
 I will love you anyways
 I will love you anyways
