This One Eats Souls Songtext
von The Blackeyed Susans

It drains the blood from your veins
And the color from your cheeks
The summer from your eyes
And the days from your weeks
Everyone needs something if they′re gonna survive
This one needs a soul
Just to keep it alive

In the moment of truth
In the shrapnel and the dirt
Where the vows are exchanged
And the pleasantries rehearsed
You prepare the patient, cook up the mix
This one doesn't move or breathe
Until you give it a fix

This one goes to market
This one went to bed with someone that you know
This one keeps you warm at night
This one dug a hole in your head


This one eats souls
This one eats souls
This one eats souls
Old souls alive
Old souls alive

Please baby don′t try
To keep us apart
There's a worm in this apple
This one has no heart
You will be the perfect host as it grows inside
You will follow this one
Wherever it goes

This one goes to market
This one went to bed with someone that you know
This one keeps you warm at night
This one will go straight to your head
This one drives for five miles
This one lasts for seventeen years
You may lose your way in the night
But by the ending it's perfectly clear that

This one eats souls
This one eats souls
This one eats souls


Old souls alive
This one eats souls
This one eats souls
This one eats souls
Old souls alive
Old souls alive
Old souls alive
Old souls alive
