[Verse 1] Gold man bites down on a silver tongue Takes a deep breath and blows the candle out He knows the truth but he keeps it to himself Here it is You can only save yourself Only yourself [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you’re in the dirt You don’t show your hurt to the world [Verse 2] Cold man, white knuckles on the wheel Well it’s all just there to steal You just gotta take it Take it like the harridan you are [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you’re in the dirt You don’t show your hurt to the world [Bridge] It’s the time of the almost rain without you I am in debt to night And gone to earth for love And I, a shadow And what of us? And what of me? And what is left without you? [Instrumental] [Chorus] When we bite the dust We will hide our cuts from the world When you’re in the dirt You don’t show your hurt to the world [Bridge] It’s the time of the almost rain without you I am in debt to night And gone to earth for love And I, a shadow And what of us? And what of me? And what is left without you?
