Lyrics
Now I Watch My Blood Turn White
Been presented with my imminent demise
Once or twice
Looked it in the eyes
And it ain't nice
Gone's the time when I could run away
Say, "No man, I don't wanna play"
Now I face it every day
Now I watch my blood turn white
I was three and it was just a pond
But to me it flowed on and on
That is from my perch beneath the tide
'Til an unseen hand pulled me up and
Dripping on the quay I cried
I've never forgotten
Though certainly I've tried
Now I watch my blood flow white
On a beach near a jetty
Talking to a naked man named Eddy
On his way out with booze 'n pills
And a shout and a machete
Pictured my guts like spilled spaghetti
Decided then I wasn't ready
Said goodbye to dear old Eddy
And I took flight
Now I watch my blood run white
This song is true
It's sung for me, not you
Indulge me, do
A selfish word or two
While I watch my blood turn white
