[Verse 1]

A bruised full moon play-fights with the stars

This place is our prison, its cells are the bars

So take me to town, I want to dance with the city

Show me something ugly and show me something pretty

[Chorus]

Damn this place

Makes a boy out of me

The ring meets my face

By the count of three

[Verse 2]

An unwanted son pulls rank in the sky

The boxer isn't finished, he's not ready to die

I'm attracted to the light, I am attracted to the heat

It's a violent night, there are boxers in the streets

[Chorus]

Damn this place

Makes a boy out of me

The ring meets my face

By the count of three

[Chorus 2]

Damn this place

Makes a boy out of me

The ring meets my face

I'm a fallen oak tree

[Bridge/Outro]

Dazed in the final count

Dazed in the final count

I'm dazed in the final count

Dazed in the final count
