Tuxedomoon Watching The Blood Flow lyrics

Down on the place, the pizza, the square
In the street, down the strada
Watching the blood flow
Down where the boy goes
Down where the bloods flow

Smiling like you've looked at death and liked it
What could be better
Me, I never get what I want
And don't want what I have

In the dirty trees by the dirty river
Hot summer city, muggy afternoon air
Mosquitoes humming 'round our heads
Cars stream over nearby bridge
Blood streams down my arm

I always wondered what went on
In places like this
A part of me always wanted to be
A part of what went on in places like this

Down where the blood flow
Down where the boy goes
Watching the blood flow

You say, you say, you like it that way

You need it helter skelter, you wanted to be bad
Born under the sign of blood
You say no, no to any reasonable facsimile of love

That's all out of the question
'Cause you always wanted to be
A part of what went on in places like this
But love is out of the question

Smiling like you've looked at death and liked it
What could be better
Me, I never get what I want
And don't want what I have

Down on the place, the pizza, the square
In the street, down the strada
Watching the blood flow
Down where the boy goes
Down where the blood flow

Smiling like you've looked at death and liked it
What could be better
Me, I never get what I want
And don't want what you have
