West of Eden lyrics

West of Eden In a star-spangled sunflower haze The ghost of Bukowski's screaming Throw open the bone yard gates The prodigal children have come home Looking for love, looking for God Cut out the hearts of the lonely And feed 'em all to the dogs Can I trust you? Can I trust you? The St. Louis suicide kings and queens wearing heroin crowns I'm so fucking sick of 'em all I'm so fucking sick of this town I want to strangle 'em Jingle and jangle 'em Sparkle and shine But I'm covered with roses and bruises And running out of time Can I touch you? Can I touch you? West of Eden Clawed my way up to a place in the Sun Made a bed in the dirt Let the insects and worms have their fun After all that you've given, if you could forgive me I wish that you'd try For I've grown older and sicker Alone, ashamed and high But I love you But I love you But I love you But I love you
