Don't look back Jack You know where you have been I'll clean your wounded arms Jack Oh but the things you've seen Jack Oh the things you've seen.
Lay your hands bare Jack Lay your body here darling Lay your stomach there Jack Ill wipe it all clean
Ill watch the blood turn black Jack A color only cutter's know But please open up a window Jack Its getting too cold in here With only you and me to warm up the atmosphere We need to learn how to resemble the sun Wear it on our skins And Ill pass you the whiskey Jack I promise I will As soon as you close that door please and open up a window
I'm shivering and its a kind of cold that alcohol can't fix A kind of lonely You can't numb, Jack And I don't want to tell you of the shape of my bruises And how I think they match the stars But I could write essays on your eyes Jack Essays on your arms
If they weren't inked black Jack If there is any part of you that is pure Let me gather the light in your eyes with this washcloth and some scissors We'll find something to agree on and well wipe the white off the walls We'll paint it a ferocious red Jack We'll turn the heat up high man We'll burn this whole ******* place down
