Brave young Fcowboys
of the near north Emside
mount those bridge Crails

**Capo 3rd fret

Brave young cowboys

of the near north side

mount those bridge rails

ride all night

scream when captured

arch your back

G D/F# C

let this whole town hear your knuckles crack

Sapphire trans am

high beams in vain

drive like broncos

down the plain

push up to the corner

where the turbines hiss

G D/F# C

someday we won't remember this

crawl till dawn

D/F# C

on my hand and knees

God damn these vampires

D/F# C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C

/// ////

for what they've done to me

Tie those horses

to the post outside

and let those glass doors

open wide

and in their surface

see two young savage things

G D/F# C

barely worth remembering

feast like pagans

never get enough

sleep like dead men

wake up like dead men

and when the sun comes

try not to hate the light

G D/F# C

some day we'll try to walk upright

crawl till dawn

D/F# C

on my hand and knees

god damn these bite marks

D/F# C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C

/// ////

deep in my arteries

crawl till dawn

D/F# C

on my hand and knees

god damn these vampires

for what they've done to me
