Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
[Verse 2]
Oh, my spine is the bass line
And the top line is the distant past
All that history, all those better men
Dirty habit's hand on the purses strings
Quiet fear of the passing time
Gently magnify the dividing line
All that history could be blown away on a breath of lust
[Verse 3]
Be somewhere else down here
[Verse 4]
Trajectory, synchronicity
How the choice is made with a fresh resolve
Jamming tight up to the barrier
Down a string of nerves, all those feelings glow
[Verse 5]
My spine is the bass line
And the top line is the distant past
All that history, all those books have gone
They've been blown away on a breath of lust
[Verse 6]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
[Verse 7]
He can rip out the chassis and gearbox
Could replace it with the neck and the chest
He can feel it in the back of the ribcage
He can kick it till it gets in the sense
He's been thinking about dying in public
He's been tensing up his arms and his legs
He can have you home in a heap in a heartbeat
Messing with the Civil Defense, go
[Verse 8]
My spine is the bass line
My spine is the bass line
[Verse 9]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
[Verse 10]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
[Verse 11]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
[Verse 12]
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
No guts, no blood, no brains at all
