Vigilantes Of Love - Weak One Now lyrics

It's not your promises that I don't respect They're cold comfort when I'm wrecked Reaching blindly out for you I've heard it said at least a thousand times before "Just keep knocking at the door of opportunity" I'm the weak one now And I don't need your sacred cow It's hard to drink the dreams Mingled ashes and the might-have-been k** the spirit Assail the flesh We amuse ourselves to d**h Holy words on bated breath lose their meaning 20th century, shut up Gold has lost its luster The silver becomes dull Once I used to run with joy Now I can barely crawl I'd like to help you, brother I've washed my hands and dried The steely blade of science never hypnotized me once
