Red Milk White Meat

Leaving the porch light on
Waiting up for someone or just afraid of the dark
The devil’s in the drive
Laughing and flashing his headlights
Cause he knows that you’re home alone
Got troubles coming out of the top of my head
Don’t you ever darken this doorway again
I was a security guard
Now security seems so far out of my grasp

Red milk, white meat
Close your eyes and go to sleep
The house that I built, promises I never keep
Have all come falling down on me

Two seeds growing from a rotted out window sill
One is a weed and the other one shoots to kill
Comin’ up all crooked and bent
A portrait of youth misspent
And they both want to be like their old man
Leaving bottles all over the floor
Scattered like your mind what the tide washed up on the shore
Dance all in a haze, troubles all the rest of my days
Troubles that no one deserves

Red milk, white meat
Close your eyes and go to sleep
The house that I built, promises I never keep
Have all come falling down on me
Red milk, white meat
All of my dreams are playing out in the street
The house that I built is falling in on me
And crushing every secret I had left to keep
