When your number isn't up

Did you call for the night porter?
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don´t see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
No one needs to tell you that
There´s no use for ya here anymore
And where are your friends?
They´ve gone away
It´s a different world, they left you to this
To janitor
The emptiness
So let´s get it on
When the sun is finally going down, and you´re overdue to follow
But you´re still above the ground
What ya got comin´ is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
Did they call for the night porter
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well I´ve been waitin´ at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don´t see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
No one needs to tell you that
There´s no use for ya here anymore
And where are your friends?
They´ve gone away
It´s a different world, they left you to this
To janitor
The emptiness
So let´s get it on
When the sun is finally going down, and you´re overdue to follow
But you´re still above the ground
What ya got comin´ is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
Did they call for the night porter
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well I´ve been waitin´ at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone
