Chlorine & Wine

When I called on my nursemaid Come sit by my side But she cuts through my rib cage Pushes the pills deep in my eyes(eyes, eyes, eyes) The taste was much sweeter Than chlorine and wine And my doctor's unable Cut through the cable that leads to my mind(mind, mind, mind) In spite of the winter There's ways to keep warm Whatever you give me Please know that I'll ask you for more(more, more, more) The day I stopped swiming Came out of the tide I'd never felt so uncomfortably dumb Here by your side(side, side, side) Black rose on the bed Turning to fire Black rose in the vein Shine in your eye Please Don't lay me down Under the rock where I found My place in the ground Hope for the fathers and sons Black rose on the bed Turning to fire Black rose in the vein Shine in your eye Please Don't lay me down
