Bottle Rockets Lyrics

The sun is setting in the sky

Realize there's no where left to hide

A drum pounds from the depths of the heart

This is where the race to the finish starts

It's getting dark in your head and the sky

Fragile bodies make fragile minds

Broken homes, nowhere to go or hide

Except the streets where you reside

And the tears

In his eyes

For the life

That has died

In his mind

He soon finds

That he's

Unsatisfied

Kill the pain

In his brain

All the stress

And the strain

Forget it all

Put the needle in your veins

As the struggle starts to fade

Life flashing right before your eyes

The hero in your veins, makes the hero die

Waking up blacked out on the floor

Not prepared for the battle that's in store

Sell your soul, cause you're already sick

Frantically craving your next fix

But when you've pawned everything in sight

And you know that you can't win the fight

Day to day, hoping you won't loose

But you don't use the needle, It's the needle that's using you

But you can't

Put it down

You'd rather

Be a clown

Getting blown

All alone

On a rough

Side of town

But the clock's

Running out

And before

You can shout

Forget it all

Put the needle in your veins

As the struggle starts to fade

Life flashing right before your eyes

The hero in your veins, makes the hero die

Life flashing right before your eyes

The hero in your veins, makes the hero die

And the tears (But you can't )

In his eyes (Put it down)

For the life (You'd rather)

That has died (Be a clown)

In his mind (Getting blown)

He soon finds (All alone)

That he's (On a rough )

Unsatisfied (Side of town)

Kill the pain (But the clock's)

In his brain (Running out)

All the stress (And before)

And the strain (You can shout)

Forget it all

Put the needle in your veins

As the struggle starts to fade

Life flashing right before your eyes

The hero in your veins, makes the hero die

Life flashing right before your eyes

The hero in your veins, makes the hero die
