Lyrics

New Blood
Words and Music by Craig Bowers

I've seen that look too many times to tell
You're going out that door, I can't make you stay
Though my heart is crying, I stay silent
We both know it's better this way

I can't help you ... I can't help myself
It's the same old hunger, a wolf out in the woods
And somewhere in this cities cold, cold heart
You walk the streets searching for new blood

And new blood is all she talks about
It's a craving that won't go away
Crueler than a lovers touch
Colder than the light of day

We were slow dancing to the radio
Floating down from somewhere up above
We kept close together in the darkness
We kept warm by making love

I've seen that look too many times to tell
You're going out that door, I can't make you stay
Though my heart is crying for you, these lips stay silent
We both know it's better this way

And new blood is all we ever talk about
It's a craving that won't go away
Softer than the dark of the night
So much colder than the light of day

And new blood is all she talks about
It's a craving that won't go away
Crueler than a lovers touch
Colder than the clear light of day
