You say you're a vampire And you're burning in the light Stuck watching movies I can't stand the black and white Finally turn up enough To see the other side But I'll take some time Son, you're a freight train Twisting down the track That somebody laid out Moving foward, two steps back I don't think that I'm strong enough For a new plan of attack But I've got to try You can put your head down On my shoulder I got wiser, I got colder But it's not true, I'm sorry Don't need to lose to learn what's missing Lay down on the front yard Wach the sky go overcast Run from the blue lights and the ghost of Christmas past And finally I'm older enough To see that no one asked If I'm alright Put my head down Be a soldier I got wiser, I got colder But it's not true, I'm sorry Don't need to lose to learn what's missing (Head down) (Shoulder) (I got colder) (No, it's not true) (Sorry) (Don't need to lose to learn what's missing)
