Drunken Heart Songtext
Hold your tongue
Best grip it son
There's nothing you can do
The die was cast at twenty past
And now it's twenty to
So hold it tight and wait for night
Grit your teeth and chew
We'll find a place away and safe
And scream until we're blue
There's a deep, dark night tumbling down over the sun
I will fold myself within its arms till morning comes
With cloak and dagger drawn we travel
Drunken heart quick to unravel

You'll rage and roar and rant some more
But don't wake those dogs that sleep
They'll drive you west and rip your flesh
With the sharpest of sharp teeth
They attack when you look back
Don't fault your running feet
Keep focused on the horizon
The climb it will be steep

There's a deep, dark night tumbling down over the sun
I will fold myself within its arms till morning comes
With cloak and dagger drawn we travel
Drunken heart quick to unravel

And I'll wait till the night is done
And dew cools my feet
Till my body is cold and numb
And those thoughts return to me
