Lyrics
Scratching (Till it Bleeds)
Did you ever see the lights on Bourbon Street?
Did you ever see the night fall down on me?
When the day breaks, when the day breaks there’s a shadow on my heart
And the sun aches, the sun aches while I gently fall apart
Did you ever see the sign entering the Strip?
Did you ever see the fortune wheels that make me slip?
When the day breaks, when the day breaks there’s a ringing in my head
And the sun aches, the sun aches while I feel nothing but regret
There’s a need, there’s greed, give me all I want,
give me everything I never want to keep
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
There’s a need, there’s greed, give me all I want, give me everything I never want to keep
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
Did you ever see the hills of Hollywood?
Did you ever see me climb like you knew I would?
When the day breaks, when the day breaks there’s a rattle in my bones
And the sun aches, the sun aches while I try to make it home
There’s a need, there’s greed, give me all I want, give me everything I never want to keep
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
There’s a need, there’s greed, give me all I want, give me everything I never want to keep
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
I’ll keep scratching till it bleeds
