Ezra Furman - Suck The Blood From My Wound Lyrics
I woke up bleeding in the crock of a tree
TV blaring on the wall above the coffee machine
Carwash waiting room outside Pasadena
I'm sitting waiting for my deus ex machina
Skin on my fingers peeling, making way for my new form
I grip the steering wheel and picture my angel
Climbing out the hospital window
Leaving tubes in a tangle
Blood on my angel's lips blends in with his make up
He's off the premises before his brain's had time to wake up
Peeling off bandages to unfold his wings
The doctors said they'd have to stay on for another three weeks
Fuck it baby, let 'em bruise, let 'em break
And I'm doing ninety, got to get there and hold him
If we can make it 'cross the state line then baby, we're golden
Let the law pronounce its petty assertions
They've been outsmarted by a couple of urchins
And they hurt you bad, man
They hurt me too
But I'm not about to sit here and watch as they
Suck the blood from my wound
They suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Oh man
Wrap half the money in your hospital garment
We'll stash the rest inside the red Camaro's secret compartment
Even the deepest wounds will heal over time
I'll run my fingers over your scars and yours over mine
They'll never find us if we turn off our phones
We're off the grid, we're off our meds
We're finally out on our own
Now I see color coming back in your cheeks
Angel, don't fight it
To them, you know we'll always be freaks
To them, we'll always be freaks
We'll always
Park for the night northwest of Baton Rouge
Across the parking lot you're stretching the one wing you can move
I let you walk as long as fear will allow
I never loved you more than I love you now
And then we're back on the road before the sun's even up
We're making time, we're making progress
But progress towards what?
Your fallen feathers fill up two shopping bags
The future's breathing down the neck of the past
And the sun throws a shit-eating shine on the moon
And I'm not about to wait for them to come
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
A plague on both your houses
A plague on both your houses

This song, this person, has restored my faith in Modern music and the possibility for true originality! I love Ezra Furhman!!

I woke up bleeding in the crock of a tree
TV blaring on the wall above the coffee machine
Car wash waiting room outside Pasadena
I'm sitting waiting for my deus ex machina
And I'm forever changed by this chemical burn
Skin on my fingers peeling, making way for my new form
I grip the steering wheel and picture my angel
Climbing out the hospital window
Leaving tubes in a tangle
Blood on my angel's lips blends in with his make up
He's off the premises before his brain's had time to wake up
Peeling off bandages to unfold his wings
The doctors said they'd have to stay on for another three weeks
Fuck it baby, let 'em bruise, let 'em break
But bleed, let 'em bleed
And I'm doing ninety, got to get there and hold him
If we can make it across the state line then baby, we're golden
Let the law pronounce its' petty assertions
They've been outsmarted by a couple of urchins
And they hurt you bad, man
They hurt me too
But I'm not about to sit here and watch as they
Suck the blood from my wound
They suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Ohh man
Wrap half the money in your hospital garment
We'll stash the rest inside the red Camaro's secret compartment
Even the deepest wounds will heal over time
I'll run my fingers over your scars and yours over mine
They'll never find us if we turn off our phones
We're off the grid, we're off our meds
We're finally out on our own
Now I see color coming back in your cheeks
Angel, don't fight it
To them you know we'll always be freaks
To them we'll always be freaks
We'll always
Park for the night north west of Baton Rouge
Across the parking lot you're stretching the one wing you can move
I let you walk as long as fear will allow
I never loved you more than I love you now
And then we're back on the road before the sun's even up
We're making time, we're making progress
But progress towards what?
Your fallen feathers fill up two shopping bags
The future's breathing down the neck of the past
And the sun throws a shit-eating shine on the moon
And I'm not about to wait for them to come
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
Suck the blood from my wound
A plague on both your houses
A plague on both your houses
MGMT - Time To Pretend
Love this song so much - kind of reminds me of MGMTt's time to pretend for some raison.
yeah and Springsteen
Up the junction by squeeze!!!
Thank you so much I couldn't link it.
the most underrated singer
Damn, this is a good one. Great fucked up ending btw. :) And can somebody tell me the song that I hear around 4:26? It drives me crazy not knowing....sounds so familiar....
Sounds like a super distorted and/or chopped and screwed sample of Ode to Joy to me, but I'm not sure either. Has been driving me crazy too! Any other ideas?
Up in the junction by squeeze is the song that i hear throughout
What means to suck the blood from one's wound?
I think maybe it means Ezra won’t let them benefit from his misfortunes, or won’t let them take anything else from him? Like, they have had everything and now they even want the blood from his wounds? Not sure. It’s a tricky one.
That last part, Romeo and Juliet?
Born to Run for the freaks, urchins and transangel community. Brilliant.
Interesting observation. That's why I prefer the internet to "real music journalism".
England, the land of fascism and good music...
this artist is from chicago
I put my finger on why this is familiar! Alice Cooper - Department of Youth.
Time to Pretend - MGMT
Up the junction by squeeze 😂😂
Brilliant would love a video lime this!
the video goes so well with the song! makes me want to get up and just drive until the coastline
Work of art.
this is so fucking cool
Cool video Ezra, how is Jonah? Old friend of his and noahs from way back
I just reviewed this album:
https://valleyviewmusic.net/2018/03/29/ezra-furman-transangelic-exodus/
Such fantastic stuff.
"I'll run my fingers over your scars and yours over mine" - awesome words
Ezra - good! Ezra - better! ERZA - BEST!!!!
Great opener to a great record!
So gorgeous! Fast and edgy and raw like the song. Love it
this is so amazing!! there are so many elements that stay true to the energy of the song and help to develop that even further i love it
Speechless in the best possible way! x
go ezra! one of the best records i've heard this year! emotional, sonic, great for a drive on my bike to school! and such a nice video, fluid animation!
I agree! I also love to listen to it on my way to work :) it helps me to gather the strength to start yet another day of struggle in an environment (the corporate culture), where I totally don't belong...
such a beautiful video!
