Old Light Lyrics - From Parts Unknown - Every Time I Die

I'm a great oasis 

Yeah I'm a mirage 

I'm a beam of old light from a vanquished star and I'll only guide you into the dark 

I'm a parasite with a tapeworm 

Yeah I got a bulletproof vest 

Knowing my bad luck I ain't ever gonna die so the good will never get any rest 

Come bail me out of the state I'm in 

The drinks I've had are no match for the truth 

The crowd down here put its teeth in us 

But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is 

So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget that we're dying here 

Oh but we're dying here 

So love the blood while you can 

Let it warm your freezing hands 

I'm a dog less master 

I'm a masterless dog 

And when the whip and the tether are put aside forever 

I'm and ox that wanders into the swamp 

I'm a rattlesnake across a braided rope 

I'm the demon on your side of the chalk 

If they caught them girls who started them fires 

Yeah they'll track me down in the fog 

Come bail me out of the state I'm in 

The drinks I've had are no match for the truth 

The crowd down here put its teeth in us 

But the cure's more dangerous than the venom is 

So we leave it in and do those things that make us forget 

that we're dying here 

Oh but we're dying here 

So love the blood while you can 

Let it warm your freezing hands 

You put a hex on me woman 

You're a thinner (x2) 

And these are nuclear winters 

Atomic black winters 

I've kept the fire alive because I'm a sinner 

I'm a sinner 

Come here and let me boil your blood 

I'm a train as long as the track 

I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back 

They struck me up by a rope as tall as the trees 

Though I land on my own two feet I still sway in the breeze
