All this time I've never seen the straight and narrow
All these years I never could hold the phone
All this love pushing out a poison arrow
All these crowds still feel so alone
Then she come and stone me
She come and rock and roll me
Then she come and stone me, stone me
'Cause I was born to bleed
I'm the ship that never gets near the shoreline
I'm the bottle that never stays full for long
All in black sittin' on the edge of the border's fine
There's no mistakes, nothing ever could be wrong
Then she come and stone me
She come and rock and roll me
Then she come and stone me, stone me
'Cause I was born to bleed
We were born to bleed together
In a riddle, riddle, riddle
My heart is like a well
Wishin', wishin', wishin'
Making love is just satisfaction
My lonesome days are all but cut in half
I was taking swigs looking for action
Now euphoria ends with a belly laugh
'Cause she come and stone me
She come and rock and roll me
She come and stone me, stone me
'Cause I was born to bleed
'Cause I was born to bleed
'Cause I would beg to bleed
