I'm a lucky cat but I'm eight lives down
And one to go
Broken hearts and quiet nights and
The reaper just creeps in slow
He's scratching at the door but
I ain't ready to go
Eight lives down
And one to go
Broken bones and my head hurts
Man, I don't feel so good
Did someone get the plates off that big old truck
When I rolled right up the hood
I ran right out in traffic
Just like you knew I would
Broken bones and dead wood
Broken busted and counted out
But you can't count me gone
I still like pouring gasoline on the fires until dawn
But it's bitters and soda from now on
The Devil's in the details
And he's been keeping track
I'm good at failing forwards
And getting dragged right back
That girl she keeps me moving
Keeps my head out of the rack
Eight miles gone
And nine miles back
Broken busted and counted out
But you can't count me gone
I still like pouring gasoline on the fires until dawn
But it's bitters and soda from now on
Stripped down to nothing
A whisper in the wind
The fire's not what got me
But the fire always wins
The fire always wins
I never tried to hurt no one
They're ain't no try, only do.
No amount of thinking's
Gonna save you from the truth
Everybody's hiding from themselves
I guess me too
There ain't no try, there's only do.
Broken busted and counted out
But you can't count me gone
I still like pouring gasoline on the fires until dawn.
But it's bitters and soda from now on
Bitters and soda from now on
