Bleed Like Me

Album: Bleed Like Me (2005)

  • Avalanche is sullen and too thin
    She starves herself to rid herself of sin
    And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin
    And she says

    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Come on, baby, can you bleed like me?

    Chris is all dressed up and acting coy
    Painted like a brand new Christmas toy
    He's trying to figure out if he's a girl or he's a boy
    And he says

    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Oh, come on, baby, can you bleed like me?

    Doodle takes dad's scissors to her skin
    And when she does relief comes setting in
    While she hides the scars she's making underneath her pretty clothes
    She sings

    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Come on, baby, can you bleed like me?

    Therapy is Speedie's brand new drug
    Dancing with the devil's past has never been too fun
    It's better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun
    And she cries

    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Oh, come on, baby can you bleed like me?

    J.T. gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar
    After two drinks he's a loser, after three drinks he's a star
    Getting all nostalgic as he sings "I Will Survive"

    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Oh, come on, baby can you bleed like me?
    Hey baby, can you bleed like me?
    Oh, come on, baby can you bleed like me?

    You should see my scars
    You should see my scars
    You should see my scars
    You should see my scars

    Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
    Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
    Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
    Try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend

    (You should see my scars)
    La la la
    La la la
    (You should see my scars)
    La la la
    La la la Writer/s: Bryan David Vig, Douglas Elwin Erickson, Shirley Ann Manson, Steve W. Marker
