(Verse 1)
Hold your breath and steal a kiss
You know the night is on our side
Fourteen years, twelve below
Now there's nothing left to hide
Tell your ma I swear I'll write her
When the time is right
Fill those arms with brickdust babe
An' won't you take me home tonight
Mmm, there's nothing left to say
(Verse 2)
All strung out like Jesse James
I saw you waltzing down the aisle
Dose me up to kingdom come
And let me stay thеre for a while
But you just got the bеst of me
I'm breaking like a dream
Hang me up or lock me down
'Cos you're the oil in this machine
Mmm, you're better left alone
(Chorus)
'Cos there's no use in cryin'
When you're hanging by a thread
When the curse of the darkness
Hasn't swallowed you yet
Send for the Whisky
Send for the wine
And the girls on the corner
And the tears that they cry
(Verse 3)
Daylight slipping through the door
We'd better make our move tonight
Love and death can't save your soul
When you're holdin' on too tight
All smoked out and broken down
Rather like a ghost
Swung your hips to New Orleans
Into the boys you love the most
Mmm, time keeps rollin' on
(Chorus)
'Cos there's no use in cryin'
When you're hanging by a thread
When the curse of the darkness
Hasn't swallowed you yet
Send for the Whisky
Send for the wine
And the girls on the corner
And the tears that they cry
Hold your breath and steal a kiss
You know the night is on our side
Fourteen years, twelve below
Now there's nothing left to hide
Tell your ma I swear I'll write her
When the time is right
Fill those arms with brickdust babe
An' won't you take me home tonight
Mmm, there's nothing left to say
(Verse 2)
All strung out like Jesse James
I saw you waltzing down the aisle
Dose me up to kingdom come
And let me stay thеre for a while
But you just got the bеst of me
I'm breaking like a dream
Hang me up or lock me down
'Cos you're the oil in this machine
Mmm, you're better left alone
(Chorus)
'Cos there's no use in cryin'
When you're hanging by a thread
When the curse of the darkness
Hasn't swallowed you yet
Send for the Whisky
Send for the wine
And the girls on the corner
And the tears that they cry
(Verse 3)
Daylight slipping through the door
We'd better make our move tonight
Love and death can't save your soul
When you're holdin' on too tight
All smoked out and broken down
Rather like a ghost
Swung your hips to New Orleans
Into the boys you love the most
Mmm, time keeps rollin' on
(Chorus)
'Cos there's no use in cryin'
When you're hanging by a thread
When the curse of the darkness
Hasn't swallowed you yet
Send for the Whisky
Send for the wine
And the girls on the corner
And the tears that they cry
