Lyrics

Oh, oh The barkeep's in a bad mood Playing with his chains Talking 'bout a blood moon Asking how I found this place My eyes are drained From the one that got away So tonight I'm going out Tonight I'm gonna stay out In walks Lady Long Boots Looking for a date I would make the first move But I'm too drunk to enunciate Never been one to wanna hear about someone's day So tonight I'm going out Tonight I'm gonna stay out & It's so hard just to be There's such a fine line between the things you want & the & The things that you need So I'm not going to sleep I'm slippin' into midnight Under harsh light & Nothing gets me down Running into old friends I don't need anymore Tonight I'm gonna show 'em we all got scars We all got scars We all got scars We all got scars, so what? I'm slippin' into midnight Under harsh light & Nothing here is bringing me down Oh, oh & Nothing here is bringing me down Oh, oh & My heart is always breaking for the ghosts that haunt this room We fall asleep to revolution But wake up next to a sad excuse Oh, what a shame How we got in our way So tonight I'm going out Tonight I'm gonna stay out & It's so hard not to scream There's such a fine line between the things you are & the & The things that you've been, whoa Slippin' into midnight Under harsh light & Nothing gets me down Up above the past loves I don't need anymore Tonight I'm gonna show 'em we all got scars We all got scars We all got scars We all got scars, so what? I'm slippin' into midnight Under harsh light & Nothing here is bringing me down Got scars We all got scars We all got scars We all got scars I'm scared that I'm becoming a satellite On the sadder side of the moon Convinced that if you'd ever stood by my side Now you're on the other side of the room But I get this funny feeling that tonight is gonna be Much better than it's been, ooh I thought that I could keep my eyes open & Let the light shine in, ooh & It's so hard just to be There's such a fine line There's such a fine line Such a fine line But I'm not sleeping tonight Slippin' into midnight Under the harsh light & Nothing gets me down Running into old friends I don't need anymore Tonight I'm gonna show 'em we all got scars We all got scars We all got scars We all got scars, so what? I'm slippin' into midnight Under harsh light & Nothing here is bringing me down Nothing here is bringing me down & Nothing here is bringing me down
