The Count Lyrics - Vagabonds - The Classic Crime

Be good to me 

As you once were 

When you pulled me from the brink of death 

My enemies were frenzied 

For a taste of my flesh 

And now I've got the same feeling again 

(same feeling again) 

The beasts are closing in, 

their teeth are dripping with rattlesnake poison 

So I will run (I will run) 

Into your open arms 

(I've got nowhere else to go) 

Whoa 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Trading truth for the simple things 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Will you give me the will to sing out: 

When I'm filled with the darkest of doubt? 

When I'm down for the count? 

Protect me, 

From Mutiny 

From those who 

Miscarried your baby 

From those who 

Miscarried the truth 

So they could selfishly do 

Whatever they thought was pleasing 

Protect me from insincerity 

From between their teeth it's practically oozing 

Their eyes are hollow and blind 

And they are wasting my time 

And it's time that I'm losing 

So I will run (I will run) 

Into your open arms 

(I've got nowhere else to go) 

Whoa 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Trading truth for the simple things 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Will you give me the will to sing out: 

When I'm filled with the darkest of doubt? 

When I'm down for the count? 

(instrumental) (whooo) 

Whoa 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Trading truth for the simple things 

I don't want to live like this anymore 

Will you give me the will to sing out: 

When I'm filled with the darkest of doubt? 

Will you give me the will to sing out? 

When I'm filled with the darkest of doubt? 

When I'm down for the count?
