Destroyer - Your Blood lyrics

I went for you in military times and
Then I waited well into the 2300s
I made my way through the
Union Street design kids

They were alright, they were on fire
They harbored an elementary desire
To do good works
I bought 'em all! I bought 'em all!
I made donations to the Plague
And the Fall and the Old
Gray Mare in her stall

Endangered Ape, a couple years in solitary
Never really hurt anyone
Distinguished colleagues
Dead music writers' brides: I apologize

They were alright, they were on fire
They harbored an elementary desire
To do good works
I bought 'em all! I bought 'em all!
I made donations to the Plague
And the Fall and the Old
Gray Mare in her stall

I don't know, I guess I'm doing alright
Tabitha takes another stab at becoming light
She never wants to go
Always wants to stay illuminated

I ride towards the dawn
Quicksilver on the side of nothing
Never had a chance
Never had to choose "Your
Blood" versus "Your Blues"
Ride towards the dawn
Quicksilver on the side of nothing
Never had a chance
Never had to choose "Your
Blood" versus "Your Blues"
