Bleeding Powers Lyrics - Singles - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

All the time you were keeping me straight 

I was bleeding powers 

In my mind it was never too late 

And the days were hours 

Sure the waves still make spray 

At the old sea wall 

And the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

Yeah, the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

Let's go down to the old South End 

Where we used to meet 

Take me back to the basements and alleys 

On Walbridge Street 

Ah, but it'll only make me sadder 

When I can't conjure ghosts no more 

And the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

Yeah, the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

All the time you've spent working away 

Well, you've done more than your part 

All the times you only wanted your say 

Not their slings and darts 

And still you couldn't let them drown 

In their own hate no more 

And the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

Yeah, the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

And you still see people waiting 

For the next excuse for war 

And the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door 

Yeah, the road leads somewhere 

But it's not yet to your door
