With a heart full of black holes,
couldn't take a chance.
and a skin of wet paper,
I couldn't wear it out.
and you keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
you keep on knocking, but I'm still in.
All you ever got were cuts & bruises.
There's glass in my jawbone,
you hear it when I talk.
There's faults down my backbone,
you can see it when I walk.
So leave me by the roadside,
the spiders & the bedbugs
couldn't bite me like the boys' talk
or bleed me like the night does.
And you keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
you keep on knocking, but I'm still in.
All you ever got were cuts & bruises,
all you ever know were cuts & bruises,
all you ever got.
Never understood,
with the credit comes the blame,
and there goes the glory,
now here comes the shame.
And you keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
you keep on knocking, but I'm still in.
All you ever got, cuts & bruises,
all you ever know, cuts & bruises,
my head on the block, cuts & bruises,
all you ever got-
And it's all you've ever known,
all you've ever known,
it's all you've ever known.
