Black & Blue

[Verse 1]

I wanna get in a fight tonight

But only if I lose

Piss of the right guy, get me a black eye

And feel my skin start to bruise

I wanna get drunk and say something dumb

That's all too full of truth

Spit into his wine, swing for the sunshine

And wake up missing a tooth

And when it's done I'll have my fun

And bum a smoke or two

Scream at the streetlights, call it a good night

And pass out in a telephone booth

[Chorus]

And all my dreams

Are black and blue

Stuck on self-pity

For my self-abuse

[Verse 2]

Give me knuckles, give me trouble

Give me blood dried on my clothes

Get me a whiskey, somеbody hit me

Get me tipsy and brеak my nose

I am no outlaw, this is no quickdraw

This is human, this is losing rest

But if I get lucky, someone'll tuck me

In to a gravel bed

[Chorus/Outro]

And I can see God

Shaking his head

Crying that I stop

Before I wind up dead

But this ain't about my rage, I have no taste for seeing red

I'm dreaming black and blue

Black and blue again

I'm dreaming black and blue

Black and blue again
