In the greyness of the streetlight
While the saint within me
Watched his creature
A ballet in the neon night
Blind on haunches and waiting
For some shock, no doubt
Paying for his nightlife
With his own life
Blind and bleeding
And lying by the streetlight
Blind outpourings and prayings
For the safety of his cell
Is this all it brings you?
Is this the place where you escape to?
Without your hands upon possessions
How naked you are
In the greyness of the streetlight
While the saint within me
Watched him dying
And now he was just so much skin
And how she cries
Since you've been gone
Hoe, in the night, now
She's oh so alone, no doubt
Blind and bleeding
And lying by the streetlight
Blind outpourings and prayings
For the safety of his cell
Is this all it brings you?
Is this the place where you escape to?
Without your hands on possessions
How naked you are
These, my friends, my darling souls
They are, they are the frozen ones
These, my friends, my darling souls
They are, they are the frozen ones
Is this all it brings you?
Is this the place where you escape to?
Without your hands on possessions
In the greyness of the streetlight
While the saint in me
Watched this creature crawl
