I've got the weapons I've got
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
Colors that wash out
Blame it on my first name
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
Which, on nights of joy
_____
Its letters of nobility
_____
Don't see much anymore
_____
When the heart rises to the eyes
_____
While the fists tremble
_____
While the feet tie knots
_____
When there's no more center
_____
When it feels in the gut
I've got the weapons I've got
The drunkenness of memories
_____
The drunkenness of the seaside
_____
And the wind pushes me
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
Because I'm old-fashioned
_____
But I'm so chilled
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
I've still got these few flowers
That I have to throw myself
_____
And I've got these few blows
_____
To wake the dead
_____
Stored in my heart
_____
By depriving me of outside
_____
And of lending me wings
_____
So my song can fly off
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
And I've got my failings
_____
When I'm given five minutes
_____
In front of upright folks
_____
To prove it's worth
_____
The bet they place on me
_____
What d'you want me to say
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
These weapons that sharpen me
_____
The ones I brandish
_____
My twig knives
_____
Because I was told no
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
Because I was told no
_____
Because I was told no
I hurt so much everywhere
_____
That I hurt nowhere
_____
Yeah if I have to trade
_____
My hard-rock nights
_____
If I have to redo
Out of distress, out of boredom
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
I've got the weapons I've got
I've got the weapons I've got
_____
I've got the weapons I've got
