Nine Lives

Silence - It ain't the kill but the thrill of the chase

Same old story, same old song

Only the names have changed



Fair warning - I could have read your mind in time

By the look in your eyes

Like diamonds turning to ashes

Ties frayed and I missed your signs



Now I can't get over you

Cannot get under somebody else

I close my eyes



When all I see is you, you came to drain my love away

But it takes nine lives till it's over

All I see is you, you came to drain my life away

But I got nine, I got nine lives till it's over



All my supplications gone unheard

Your head in my crotch has turned to a boot

But you won't hear a word



Salvation - I ride into nowhere and out of nowhere I'll come

The twinges in your brain, the pang of regret

Don't mess with no son of a gun



I'm gonna get over this

Gotta get under somebody else

I close my eyes



When all I see is you, you came to drain my love away

But it takes nine lives till it's over

All I see is you, you came to drain my life away

But I got nine, I got nine lives



All I see is you, you came to drain my love away

But it takes nine lives till it's over

All I see is you, you came to drain my life away

I got nine lives till it's over

Till it's over I got nine lives, I got nine lives
