Fresh Blood - Eels

sundown on the sorry day

by night lights the children pray

i know you’re probably getting ready for bed

beautiful woman get out of my head

i’m so tired of the same old crud

sweet baby i need fresh blood

the moon shines in the autumn sky

growing cold the leaves all die

i’m more alone than i’ve ever been

help me out of the shape i’m in after the fires, before the flood

my sweet baby i need fresh blood

whatever trepidation you may feel

in your heart you know it’s not real

in a moment of clarity

summon an act of charity

you’ve got to pull me out of this mud

sweet baby i need fresh blood
