I hear them calling out your name in tongues of animals
They sharpen their fangs and wait impatiently
Here and today, out on the street
Your body couldn't give what your mind couldn't keep
Scratch at the post, dramatic and weak
Split the tongue just for fun to see which side speaks
They took your breath
Blood stops moving on
And time, time, time goes blind, yeah
Keep your head up high
You left something inside of me like a picture, or a ghost
Or a picture of a ghost, and now it's haunting me
Here and today, out on the street
Your body couldn't give what your mind couldn't keep
Scratch at the post, dramatic and weak
Split the tongue just for fun to see which side speaks
They took your breath
Blood stops moving on
And time, time, time goes blind, yeah
Keep your head up high
