Settle down 

This won’t last long 

I’ve been out 

And I want back in 



When my bones begin to break 

And my head begins to shake 

It’s my own blood 



And the neighbours turn away 

It’s my own blood 



Settle down 

This won’t last long 

I’ve been out 

And I want back in 



“Where the butcher’s hand is home” 

Laughs the blade above the throne 

“It’s my own blood” 



“Oh, this apple makes me sick” 

Cries the pig upon his stick 

“It’s my own blood” 



And I can’t forget the taste 

Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue 

And I can’t forget the taste 

Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue 



And If I had a heart 

I’d waste it on you 

But it’s all together far too long 

Since I took you down 



Settle down 

This won’t last long 

I’ve been out 

And I want back in 



When we’ve licked all of the lips 

And the salt-stained fingertips 

It’s our own blood 



When our lambs and lions made 

Debts no righteous man can pay 

It’s our own blood 



And I can’t forget the taste 

Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue 

And I can’t forget the taste 

Can’t forget the taste of my own tongue
