  • Let the blackness roll on
    Mother's cool reptilian womb
    Ain't so cold tonight
    My fingers trace the exit wounds

    By graveyard light
    There's bone dust in my throat and everything is DEAD
    But it's all right
    Take it easy

    You bleed so easy
    Bleed me an ocean
    Bleed me an ocean tonight
    By electric graveyard light

    Bleed me an ocean
    Let me lie beneath the sky
    Teach me how to die
    Bleed me an ocean

    As the blossom eats the butterfly
    Can you feel the cold death
    That rides along your spine
    Let the blackness roll on

    You bleed so easy
    Let the blackness roll on
    I was sexless in clouds again
    I was chasing a cold, cold wind

    I've become bored with flesh and bone again
    The deepest alone
    I was riding the turbulence
    An ocean of Hades

    It's all downhill from here
    On the outer nowhere
    Let the blackness roll on
    You bleed so easy

    Let the blackness roll on
    I was stoned to the drone
    Of the blackness that hums
    I've become bored with flesh and bone again

    The endless hum of the highway drone
    I was riding the turbulence
    An ocean of Hades
    The taste of dead sex on my tongue

    On my tongue, yeah
    Let the blackness roll on
    You bleed so easy
    Let the blackness roll on

    You bleed so easy
    Just like a rain drop
    I was born baby to fall
    And scale these prison walls

    It was over before you were born
    Sucked into the vacuum of this universal tomb
    It was over before you were born
    Sucked into the vacuum of this universal tomb

    Old blossom dies
    Like a young man breathes
    The insects hum with their hunger and grieve
    An icon of pale bone

    Static white dream
    Blind in the wilderness
    Everybody scream
    I couldn't find my way

    Out the door
    We all died
    Woke up on the floor
    I ride the painted whore

    She gives good universal scream, scream
    I ride the painted whore
    She gives good universal scream, scream
    I ride the painted whore

    She gives good universal scream, scream
    I ride the painted whore
    She gives good universal scream, scream Writer/s: Buddy Miller, Julie Miller
