Blood on the Vinyl Lyrics by Riley Thomas
Song on a record
Record in a pile
Needle on a broken heart coming through the dial
Storyteller suicide written with a bottle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Sound of a singer
Singing for survival
Battle on a 45 spinnin’ in a spiral
Loading up a hummingbird
Stringing up a rifle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Fingers to the bone
Digging for the soul in a six string
Heavy is the heart
Chipping at the stone
Leaning on a smoke and a stiff drink
Shooting in the dark
Looking like a ghost
Make another deal with the devil
Put the steel to the pedal
Mama I ain’t coming home
Take another pill to feel better
Take the long way to heaven
Chasing noise through the night
Fill the void with a vice
Give it all just to die for a…
Song on a record
Record in a pile
Needle on a broken heart coming through the dial
Storyteller suicide written with a bottle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Sound of a singer
Singing for survival
Battle on a 45 spinnin’ in a spiral
Loading up a hummingbird
Stringing up a rifle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Dip into the pain
Fill another page full of heartbreak
Written in the red
Spilling from the vein
Dancing on the edge of your own grave
Sweating through the bed
Running from a train
Happy looking up from the bottom
Working hard for the dollar
While you’re living on the change
Cradle to the stage to the coffin
Hall of fame or forgotten
Chasing noise through the night
Fill the void with a vice
Give it all just to die for a…
Song on a record
Record in a pile
Needle on a broken heart coming through the dial
Storyteller suicide written with a bottle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Sound of a singer
Singing for survival
Battle on a 45 spinnin’ in a spiral
Loading up a hummingbird
Stringing up a rifle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Song on a record
Record in a pile
Needle on a broken heart coming through the dial
Storyteller suicide written with a bottle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
Sound of a singer
Singing for survival
Battle on a 45 spinnin’ in a spiral
Loading up a hummingbird
Stringing up a rifle
If you listen you can hear the blood on the vinyl
