Heart Still Beats lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Heart Still Beats lyrics Songwriters: Culp, Dennis Bayne; Hoerig, Keith; Roper, Reese; Verdecchio, Andrew; The girl in the alley kneels with exhaustion She s guarded by the skinny guy Who limps from some infection Behind a veil of bleached thin hair, her eyes tell a story Like a photo of Berlin, December 1944 She s looking for a handout She s been high for several weeks now She s too far gone for whoring And the money just gave out And her heart still beats inside And the blood runs in her veins A remnants of life remains Her heart still beats inside The man finally comes to the door I ve seen him several times He always looks pissed off And his sunglasses stay on I think he got his biceps and tattoos while in prison And it doesn t seem to bother him When he says, "Go to hell" And his heart still beats inside And the blood runs in his veins A remnants of life remains His heart still beats inside The thought it comes to my mind to somehow intervene But it could bring me trouble and what can I do anyway? It s hard to be effective when it happens so often To see a life unraveling through drawn venetian blinds I m sickened by compassion I m stifled by my limitations Anesthetic apathy Come take the pain away And my heart still beats inside And the blood runs in my veins A remnants of life remains And my heart still beats inside Oh God, we need You here We re sinking fast and we don t care The evidence is all around me On both sides of my door our hearts beat Our hearts beat Our hearts beat Our hearts beat song lyrics
