lyrics
Morning ring out, church bells in C
Throwin’ sticks at my heart like stones at the sea
On the day Moses comes, don’t you worry ‘bout me
I’ll be drinking the blood of a sailor
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
My world formed from a void, born bearin’ light
I can still taste your skin when your impulse is kind
Eating fruit from the hand that carried the vine
Maybe now I’m meeting my maker
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
I would love you to death, be your last sin
Then die at your neck for still taking you in
So close to you now and the rush of your gin
I want love but I settle for Poison
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
I want Love but I'd settle for Poison
Throwin’ sticks at my heart like stones at the sea
On the day Moses comes, don’t you worry ‘bout me
I’ll be drinking the blood of a sailor
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
My world formed from a void, born bearin’ light
I can still taste your skin when your impulse is kind
Eating fruit from the hand that carried the vine
Maybe now I’m meeting my maker
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
I would love you to death, be your last sin
Then die at your neck for still taking you in
So close to you now and the rush of your gin
I want love but I settle for Poison
I do what I have to for love to survive
I get through the night
Get through the night
I want Love but I'd settle for Poison
