War Machine Lyrics - Beat The Devil's Tattoo - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

You just turned so white 

Never needed you so bad 

There's nothing left to disguise 

You never wanted it so bad 

You don't need your soul 

They'll keep you high 

I keep chasing your ghost 

But it all keeps us coming back 

For a little while 

You don't look so good 

If you smell like you would 

You don't seem so proud 

In the cries and thunder 

And now the ones you beg 

They won't kiss it away 

I just need your hand 

When it all keeps coming down 

For a little while 

Yeah, I called my friend, the doctor 

Just to keep your heart alive 

He said, I ain't too good at healing 

But I'll make you stand 

I need just one more line 

I need you to stand up 

And it all keeps coming out into the light 

You never seemed so cruel 

It's just a question of time 

We used a war machine 

Now it burns out your spine 

You don't prove your worth 

You just make it obscene 

Yeah, it ain't no crime to blow your mind 

If it feels to you like a never ending dream
