Well it's cold and the winds like a ghost from the grave
The sky wants a haircut and the streets need a shave
The girl at the end of the bar needs a light
And i'm dying in denver tonight

The sirens are doglike and rabid and mean
The buildings are covered in gasoline
And they laugh at the devil whose just out of sight
And i'm dying in denver tonight

She said that she'd call and she wouldn't be late
And the bar's closing down and i'm feeling the hate
I feel like a kid on a carnival ride
I'm dying in denver tonight

And the needle is ready and the veins got an erection
And the only thing i need is a good set of directions
I can't seem to find a good enough reason to fight
I'm dying in denver tonight

This head of mine's heavy and coated in guilt
And the scream in my mouth is a handful of silt
And my eyes do not cherish they bleed and they bite
I'm dying in denver tonight

The monkeys not dancing he's 1,000 feet tall
And a chorus of angels are having a ball
Inside of what's left of my hearts appetite
And i'm dying in denver tonight

I'm loaded with options my intentions are good
My breath is kerosine tiger i'm wood
I hope your ok and your doing allright
I'm dying in denver tonight
