Marker me darker, dog throw me a bone,
I wanna feel you like you're left all alone,
I wanna feel you like you're left all alone.
Marker me darker, dog give me a home,
I'm gonna bite you, gonna hear you moan,
I'm gonna bite you, gonna hear you moan,
Marker me darker, put me in a dark door,
So I know how you feel.
Give me a sweater, I got me a chill,
Marker me darker, dog, and give me your fill,
Show me what ails you, what puts you in the dark,
Marker me darker, put me in the dark door,
So I know how you feel.
Marker me darker, dog lend me a hand,
Liquor me quicker that's what makes me understand,
Throw me a bottle, put me in it if you can,
Marker me darker, put me in a dark door,
So I know how you feel.
...
Go ahead and make me an offer,
I'm open to an interesting trade,
I can't afford kicking the habit,
I always want to give it away.
When I think of the future,
Hell, it ain't what it used to be,
It ain't quite what I pictured,
When I was young and I'd work on a dream.
Turning back to check out the answer,
It's always on the very last page,
So when Johnny fell in love with a dancer,
I knew that I could steal her away.
'Cause I get what I came for,
And I know what I wanna see,
I get more than I paid for,
Got my lines all down to a tee.
When I think of the future,
Hell, it ain't what it used to be,
It ain't quite what I pictured,
When I was young and I'd work on a dream.
Oh, we can make it,
Oh, take me down.
Where they play so's you can feel it,
It ain't just in the sound.
Oh, we can make it,
Oh, take me down.
