Scars of Love - Jesse Malin

You start with spin the bottle

And you learn how to forget

A broken home but now you’ve grown

You play Russian roulette

And the dogs bark out in defeat

Scars of love

Like a silver chain that bears no name

Nevermore

I’m a dinosaur

You’re waving me goodbye

I could fall into you eyes

And never have to speak

I am happy when I’m home

Walking on the street

And they can’t take that

Away from me

Scars of love

All your hawks and doves and boxing gloves

Nevermore

All my Kramden schemes and hopes and dreams subside

In the night

You don’t know me I’m not a pretty one

But you can hold me a while

They can’t take that away from me

Scars of love

With your future boy

You can destroy and join the club

You can drink your gin and cut your skin

And rise above

All those restless nights

A satellite of love

From above

I’m going walking in the rain to wash away

I spit my poison down the drain

Wash away

It’s a bad scene

From a back dream
