Jack’s Mannequin - Bloodshot lyrics

She walks to the mailbox
Each morning at nine every day she begins
She's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail
She sit's on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just ashing her
Cigarettes onto the sill
Every breath a little more pale

The hill still left to climb is just so

High and I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire it's just so high
And I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on

He sit's in his basement
From midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees
From his days in the war
Canvases bathed in bright red, red
He heats up the shower he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more
But he won't get it all
Paint in his fingernail beds

The hill still left to climb is just so

High and I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire it's just so high
And I'm so tired come on look up at
The bloodshot sky the clouds are all on

Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on

We wait in valleys while the clouds come in
We see no shadows
'Cause a shadow's all there is
And we climb (And we climb)
And we climb (And we climb)

But it's just so high and I'm so tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on fire it's just so high
And I'm so tired come on look up at
The bloodshot sky the clouds are all on

Fire, the clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on
The clouds are all on
Fire, the clouds are all on fire
