Ain't No Love In the Heart of the City - Bobby "Blue" Bland

Now that I fell into your arms My only lover Give out to give in I search for the capsule I lost Drag me to hell In the valley of The Dalles Like my mother Give wings to a stone It's only the shadow of a cross I slept on my back In the shade of the meadowlark Like a champion Get drunk to get laid I take one more hit when you depart I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart Lonely vampire Inhaling its fire I'm chasing the dragon too far There's blood on that blade Fuck me, I'm falling apart My assassin Like Casper the ghost There's no shade in the shadow of the cross

What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Uh-uh, bet you wanted it easy, but you don't know me Hands down, I had to woman-up for this Lay down for the body, but the mind don't sleep Trade love for blood, but I'm not sorry about this It's not good a story if it has no twist One queen, one king, who did I miss? Happy ending, violin, kiss Four eyes, two hearts, silence is bliss You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear (quiet, quiet) But I love you, that's why I keep it quiet Shh, shh, shh What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long One, two, three, common, classic dreams Got a stone, rough skin but a mind can be Like a front-row seat to the ending scene And it's all coming back, all running back Feeling like a blast from the past, piece in the dress Heavy like a stone in the hand, so armed, keep it down, keep it down Choose life or pick a gun, pick a gun Fight the fight for the one, be the one You gotta learn the lesson, nothing is what it seems If you're reading this, it means I'm gone, my dear If I only could, I would dry your tears And whisper in your ear What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet too long What you don't know cannot kill you What you don't know cannot kill you Believe me, all I want is to save you from myself 'Cause I've been quiet way too long 'Cause I've been too

The future's under fire The past is gaining ground A continuous cold war between My home and my hometown I was destined to die dreaming When one day, my best friend With passion and pure provocation Summoned me and said "You can't condemn your love To linger here and die Can't leave your dreams to chance Or to a spirit in the sky May your heart always be ardent Your conscience always clear And succumb to the city and surrender, baby I'll be waiting here" And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad It was last call at my local And I stalled saying goodbye So the girl behind the bar came over And she took me aside She kissed me like a chorus, said "Give 'em hell for us The last drink of the night, last night in town Baby, this one is on the house" And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad It was bedlam in my bed that night And like a silent scream My body broke out in a sweat From seeing you in dreams You called out to me I sang back to you And all I remember was the sound of it being Like all hell breaking loose And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) And it got me all fired up To go far away And make some music from the sound of my singing, baby (Oh oh, oh oh) So I left my home And all I had I used to be good but now I'm bad
