Watching the Blood Flow

Down on the place The pizza the square In the street On the strada Watching the blood flow Down where the boy goes Down where the bloods flow Smiling like you've looked at death And liked it - What could be better Me I never get what I want and don't want What I have In the dirty trees By the Dirty river Hot summer city Muggy afternoon air Mosquitoes humming 'Round our heads Cars stream over nearby bridge Blood streams down my arm I always wondered what went on In places like this a part Of me always wanted to be a part Of what went on in places like this Down where the blood flow Down where the bot goes Watching the blood flow You say you say You like it that way And you need it helter skelter You wanted to be bad Born under the sign of blood You say no No to any reasonable facsimile of love That's all out of the question 'Cause you always wanted to be A part of what went on in places like this But love is out of the question Smiling like you've looked at death And liked it - What could be better Me I never get what I want and don't want What I have Down on the place The pizza the square In the street On the strasse Watching the blood flow Down where the boy goes Down where the blood flow Smiling like you've looked at death And liked it - What could be better Me I never get what I want and don't want What you have --- Watching the Blood Flow - Tuxedomoon
