Album | Borderland |
Living in the borderland | |
I don’t feel like a boy, I don’t feel like a man | |
In the things I don’t understand | |
Things like love, like the law | |
Like the law of the jungle | |
Are we all animals | |
Are we all animals sharpening | |
Our teeth and claws | |
Stocking up on cannonballs | |
Living like nobody knows | |
They can’t hold on to love | |
And live by the law, the law of the jungle | |
Help me Holy Jesus | |
Won’t you show me how to live | |
I’ve got monsters at my table | |
I’ve got Bibles bent like shivs | |
Help me Holy Lord | |
I see the light of heaven’s porch | |
But so many of us are born here | |
Outside your chain link fence | |
Living in the borderland | |
You gotta fend for yourself, | |
Let the dogs eat the other man | |
Living in the borderland | |
You gotta take what you get, | |
Gotta get what you can | |
Are we all dangerous | |
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up | |
Pockets full of fairy dust | |
Suffering the wanderlust | |
They all get crushed without love | |
By the law, the law of the jungle | |
Living in the borderland | |
Are you going to fight like a boy, | |
Gonna run like a man | |
Living in the borderland | |
Gotta take what you get, | |
Gotta get what you can | |
But you can’t hold on | |
Can’t hold on to love | |
You can’t hold on | |
You can’t hold on and live | |
By the Law |
Living in the borderland | |
I don' t feel like a boy, I don' t feel like a man | |
In the things I don' t understand | |
Things like love, like the law | |
Like the law of the jungle | |
Are we all animals | |
Are we all animals sharpening | |
Our teeth and claws | |
Stocking up on cannonballs | |
Living like nobody knows | |
They can' t hold on to love | |
And live by the law, the law of the jungle | |
Help me Holy Jesus | |
Won' t you show me how to live | |
I' ve got monsters at my table | |
I' ve got Bibles bent like shivs | |
Help me Holy Lord | |
I see the light of heaven' s porch | |
But so many of us are born here | |
Outside your chain link fence | |
Living in the borderland | |
You gotta fend for yourself, | |
Let the dogs eat the other man | |
Living in the borderland | |
You gotta take what you get, | |
Gotta get what you can | |
Are we all dangerous | |
Are we all dangerous lost boys shoring up | |
Pockets full of fairy dust | |
Suffering the wanderlust | |
They all get crushed without love | |
By the law, the law of the jungle | |
Living in the borderland | |
Are you going to fight like a boy, | |
Gonna run like a man | |
Living in the borderland | |
Gotta take what you get, | |
Gotta get what you can | |
But you can' t hold on | |
Can' t hold on to love | |
You can' t hold on | |
You can' t hold on and live | |
By the Law |
