When Your Number Isn't Up

Mark Lanegan Band


Did you call for the night porter? 
You smell the blood running warm 
I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone 
Now something crawls right up my spine 
That I always got to follow 
Turn out the lights 
Don't see me drawn and hollow 
Just blood running warm 
No one needs to tell you that 
There's no use for ya here anymore 
And where are your friends? 
They've gone away 
It's a different world, they left you to this 
To janitor 
The emptiness 
So let's get it on 
When the sun is finally going down, and you're overdue to follow 
But you're still above the ground 
What ya got comin' is hard to swallow 
Like blood running warm 
Did they call for the night porter 
And smell the blood, blood running warm 
Well I've been waitin at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone
