Vigilantes of Love
Run Through My Veins (Live at the 40 Watt)
[Spoken Intro]
This song's called "Run Through My Veins." Hey!
[Verse 1]
Put down for a little while
Yeah, this time I'm really in
You're on no first-name basis
With the stranger in your skin
Betrayal, she's a girl
Yeah, I slept with once or twice
Treason, her next of kin
She was more than nice
[Pre-Chorus]
All your best intentions sleep under
A sky with no stars
Shh!
[Chorus]
And you run
Through my veins to my heart
And you run
Through my veins, ho
Hey!
[Verse 2]
When I'm sure of nothing
Yeah, but certain of everything else
The longer that we do this
We feel less and less ourselves
Hey, why is it when you climb up here
You can't find a place to hide?
Hey, why is it when you climb up here
It feels like suicide?
[Pre-Chorus]
All your best intentions sleep under
A sky with no stars
Shh!
[Chorus]
You run
Through my veins to my heart
And you run
Through my veins, ho, ho
[Verse 3]
Put down for a little while
Gotta bandage up our wounds
It's time to find some spare parts
Time to ration fuel
Plant your victory garden
Place a flower there for me
"Come into your kingdom, Lord"
Said the thief from the tree
[Pre-Chorus]
All your best intentions sleep under
A sky with no stars
Shh!
[Chorus]
And you run
Through my veins to my heart
And you run
Through my veins to my heart
Oh, and you run
Through my veins to my heart
Oh, yeah, and you run
Through my veins, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
You run through my veins, ho
You run through my veins, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
[Spoken Word]
Thank you.
