In Vein

ive heard all those things theyve said
but you can never judge those words as true
and each time i wrote in they said
now boy, whatchya gonna do

well i dont know what my plans are
but i always have a plan b
this place its in my blood my veins
its taking a hold of me

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word

they strap me to my chair to do my work
its a cushion of needles and pins
i dance all night with the shadows
mozart in the background and a bottle of bourbon

girl taking me away from you
its vein youre my heroin
its the worst decision i could have made
i need you youre under my skin

and it feels like five hundred thousand years
my girl since i saw you last
and each day that creeps on by
is getting longer than the last
good catholic boys are always seen
but theyre never ever heard
my man ill be damned if you dont
listen to every single last damn word
