I have seen the sun of love blur right before my eyes

Cyrillic signs and liquor kisses broke our sacred ties

Sizzling grease and frozen mojo in between two lives

Rolling west through mud and concrete, forming truth from lies

Sit and wait in empty rooms, filled with silent sounds

Frown upon the missing time that everybody owns

Waste my time on dark red digits, waste my life on gold

To kiss the queen of pain goodbye when destinies are sold

And here I stand

Barefoot in the snow

Where my best friend taught me

How to punch in an eye

Yeah here I stand

Barefoot in the snow

Where chaos taught me

How to–

A wise man once said, tears of pain and pleasure taste the same

But babe, your fist hurt more and more until I quit this game

I fought you off and fled the scene ‘fore I could hit the ground

Sweetness missing in my head, my heart and all around

And here I stand

Barefoot on the road

Where my best friend taught me

How to end this life

Yeah here I stand

Barefoot on the road

Where chaos taught me

How to end this life

I have seen the night of love turn into brightest day

The sun arose and cast her rays onto my winding way

I have learned to run barefoot without burning my feet

And now I hope this winding road won’t lead me back to thee
