I saw a kid on the swing today
Asked me if I had any games to play
I said let's get married and kill some days
Serve out breakfast on a silver tray
So I gave that kid my family ring
As I continued to sing
And that kid wore that fancy ring
But forgot something at the bottom of the swing


I went on to another song
That kid went back to sing till dawn
All of a sudden my heart went wrong
I shut my eyes to wait for the storm


The moon it shook beneath my hands
It's made of blood
I'll still drive across the land
It's made of blood

What's your daddy tell you, what'd your daddy say
What'd your daddy do before he ran away
When you're done on the swing you can still have my ring
It's still made of blood



That kid must soon get off that ride
Or forever look for somewhere to hide
Sit on the beach and wait for the tide
Or fill up a void of invisible pride
And I'll be patient out on the sea
And wait until that beach is free
And sneak back behind some tree
Waiting until that kid feels me



And one day I'll go to that swing
And Ill sit down and ride
I'll look down for what the kid didn't bring
And see my reflection engraved on a ring


The moon it shook beneath my hands
It's made of blood
I'll still drive across the land
It's made of blood

What's your daddy tell you, what'd your daddy say
What'd your daddy do before he ran away
When you're done on the swing you can still have my ring
It's still made of blood



Tell me the story that isn't true
Give away what made me love you
I won't be another fool
I'm so in love with what is cruel
So cruel, so cruel, it made me love you
So cruel, so cruel, it made me love you
It made me love you.....
And when it's all said and done I hope love won't run
It's made of blood
