Blood for Poppies Songtext
von Garbage

Salute the sun, I′ve been sitting here all night long
Hauling rock, over Buddha with the longhorn
Got a hole, rip a pocket off my uniform
With the Black Watch boys, get your heads down
Oh-oh-ohh

Duty calls, but it's way too late, I′m too far gone
Waiting for Godot, hell, with my pants down
Cracked the stash, sent me crying in the midday sun
I miss my dog, and I miss my freedom
Oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-ohh


I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
Don′t know why they are calling on the radio
It′s by my side, and I know I'm right
I don′t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
Don′t know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I′m right

I hate the things I think about you when I'm all alone
I know you're tough but I′ve been gone for so long
Play the memories of you inside my head
So all these pictures of us burn and radiate

Watch the clouds, and I′m falling, falling through the cracks
Head beats and the heart is pounding fast
Off the ground into the starry dark
Into your arms I'm falling
Oh-oh-ohh (falling, falling)
Oh-oh (falling, falling)
Oh-oh-ohh (falling, falling)

I don′t know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
Don′t know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I′m right
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
Don′t know why they are calling on the radio
It′s by my side, and I know I'm right


My brain, my body′s fried
I've got to stay alive
I′ve gotta take a chance and keep on moving
Keep on moving

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I′m here just out of sight
Don't know why they are calling on the radio
It's by my side, and I know I′m right

Don′t know why they are calling on the radio
It's on my side, and I know I′m right
(I see your light from miles away)
I don't know why they are calling on the radio
It′s on my side, and I know I'm alright
(I see your light from miles away)
Oh-oh-ohh
(I see your light from miles away)
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-ohh
