C You run down the strip, down the strip right through me Em The rain on the windscreen, blistering the stop sign C Turn in the rubies your mother did buy you Em Through this land I roar C You made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born Em Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly D Bless this strip as it runs right through me C Bless this strip as it runs right through me C She fades to the background, proof reads a story Em Kills all the characters and crosses out the heroine C Kissing an American, she told me she bought me Em Through this land I roar C She made me bold like a whore, wish I'd never been born Em Got a good looking corpse hanging on to me tightly D Bless this strip as it runs right through me C Bless this strip as it runs right through me G D Love, turn on the light Em C It's so dark in there, inside her life G D And I know, what it's like Em C To feel loved and to not like your self She dragged all the blood to the back of my brain Filled to the line, smoked on an elephant's tusk Punch drunk, bitten, and bleeding I became Tame, feeble in the heroine one of us And I hear mutants screaming And I ride on the crest of waves And I stuck as a joker's feeling And I still hear demons breathing, and Love, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside her life And I know, what it's like To feel loved and to not like your self The sun had dropped, I'm sweating in a carcass I've given up on me, I've given up on Marcus I'm carrying my casket, looking for the enemy I'm down on my knees, surrendering to Valerie And all, I feel my head is racing And I, feel my shoulders bracing I, know I'm sick to my bones And I, know I can't get back home now Love, turn on the light It's so dark in there, inside her life And I know, what it's like To feel loved and to not like your self C G Take me far, from this sweet city stench Am Where friends all betray each other Em D And I'm just another lover to a C G Take me far, from this sweet city stench Am Where friends all betray each other Em D And I'm just another lover to a friend To a friend, to a friend, to a friend Oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far, oh take me far
