No Children/Blacktop

[Intro]

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow

Oh, I hope it bleeds all day long

Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises

But we're pretty sure they're all wrong

Oh, I hope it stays dark forever

I hope the worst isn't over

I hope you blink before I do

Oh, I hope I never get sober

I hope when you think of me years down the line

You can't find one good thing to say

And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out

You'd stay the hell out of my way

'Cause I am drowning

Thеre is no sign of land

You are coming down with me

Hand in unlovablе hand

And I hope you die

I hope we both die

[Verse 1]

Do you think that there's a way I could ever get too far

That you'd ask me where I'd been

Like I ask you where you are?

But I know you're in the pews

The same as stools around the bar

And I know I saw your hand

When I went out and wrapped my car

Streetlamp, around the streetlamp

[Verse 2]

So I wrote you love letters

And sung them in my house

And all around the South

The broken strings and amplifiers scream with holy noise

In hopes to draw you out

But if no one sings along in praise

Are you still proud when I open my mouth?

[Chorus]

Come visit me, come visit me

In the back of an ambulance

For the saline communion

That I held like a séance

On the blacktop

[Bridge]

For the devil in my arms

Says feed me to the wolves tonight

[Chorus]

And come visit me

In the back of an ambulance

For the saline communion

That I held like a séance
