Song Lyrics

Running to a hole like a bootlegging mouse in a roadside mountain hotel
Well he cats in the corner got the guns and the speed but they're too young to know how to sell
Flags are flying high in the Eastern sky where the roads are all covered in sin
Now I'm yelling at you like a banshee with blood all over my shins

The only way to live is to love again or just burn out in love's flame
Music and words will kill me or save me once again

Spending money like a rich kid
Drinking like a camel's hump
Lovin' you like a dead man or a writer stuck in a slump
Well I wrote this song on the back of a bag that once held a bottle of gin
Now you gamble somewhere between heaven and hell waiting to cash it all in

The only way to live is to love again or just burn out in love's flame
Music and words will kill me or save me once again

Now I can't stand up and you won't sit down
Everything about you is turned up way too loud

Come on and dance like the devil is the leader of a country that is ruled by the wealthy few
And the armies of the angels got their rifles pointed at you and they're coming down to show you the truth
Are you tired of all the politics or just blind to all the lunatics?
Mice are small when you they live in a hole but they're huge when they live in a hall

The only way to live is to love again or just burn out in love's flame
Music and words will kill me or save me once again
Music and words will kill me or save me once again
Music and words will kill me or save me once again
