[Verse 1: Black Francis & Kim Deal]

As loud as hell, a ringin' bell

Behind my smile, it shakes my teeth

And all the while, as vampires feed

[Chorus: Black Francis & Kim Deal]

I bleed

I bleed

I bleed

[Verse 2: Black Francis & Kim Deal]

Prithee, my dear, why are we here?

Nobody knows, we go to sleep

As breathin' flows, my mind secedes

[Chorus: Black Francis & Kim Deal]

I bleed

I bleed

I bleed

I bleed

I bleed

I bleed!

[Interlude: Kim Deal]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge: Black Francis & Kim Deal]

There's a place in the buried west

In a cave with a house in it

In the clay, the holes of hands

You can place a hand in hand

[Chorus: Black Francis, Kim Deal]

I bleed (I bleed)

I bleed (I bleed)

I bleed (I bleed)
