Mr. Silverblood Lyrics

You were raised in moonlight

While I chase tigers through the tall grass

And if my paper hands did catch one

Black stripes turn to ash

So I don't dance with reason

To the beat of circumstance

And these city streets are lined with needles

For a mercury transfusion

And they call me Mr. Silverblood

Yeah, they call me Mr. Silverblood

They walk to the end of time

To try and find some meaning in this life

and they walk through golden fields, with my

With my tiger close behind

So don't you try to save them

Those shadows lined behind me

They'll swim in circles if you say you love them

And sharks can smell the mercury

And they call me Mr. Silverblood

Yeah, they call me Mr. Silverblood

And I've followed you here, to this hourglass beach,

But while you walked on the water I was swept up by the tide

And now I'm lost in some dark wake

I can see lights from boats at the end of shore

And I've waited for someone to sail to me, but I'm still waiting now

And no-one ever taught me to swim, and I'm drowning

But it's no use, every eye that lands on me moves away so quickly

And every time I think someone is speaking to me

They start when they hear my voice echo back

I'm still just your shadow, cast back and silent

And empty, and full of the notes I could never bring myself to sing

I'm still just your shadow.

So they call me Mr. Silverblood

Yeah, they call me Mr. Silverblood

They call me, they call me Mr. Silverblood

They call me, they call me Mr. Silverblood

Yeah, they call me Mr. Silverblood
