The gun is loaded when the glass is full   Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled   Off the wagon and back onto the stool   I know that when I stare into your eyes   I can see all the years of lies   Ghosts and demons you never exorcised      All the friends that I've ever known   Are the streetlamps I follow home   And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone      Oh Lord, I just can't   Tear the moon from the stars tonight   Twist my arm like a knife tonight   And if you wanna leave that's alright   Well I'll just turn these tears into wine      His fate was written on a neon sign   A DUI never changed his mind   He got hooked like a fish caught on a line   You never gave yourself a chance to shine   Your destination's a chalk outline   And when you get to the gates you'll be denied      All the friends that I've ever known   Are the streetlamps I follow home   And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone      Oh Lord, I just can't   Tear the moon from the stars tonight   Twist my arm like a knife tonight   And if you wanna leave that's alright   Well I'll just turn these tears into wine      Tear the moon from the stars tonight   Twist my arm like a knife tonight   And if you wanna leave that's alright   Well I'll just turn these tears into wine      All the friends that I've ever known   Are the streetlamps I follow home   The tide keeps pulling me down   I try to reach higher ground   I'll never give up and drown      Even though I just can't   Tear the moon from the stars tonight   Twist my arm like a knife tonight   And if you wanna leave that's alright   Well I'll just turn these tears into wine      Tear the moon from the stars tonight   Twist my arm like a knife tonight   And if you wanna leave that's alright   Well I'll just turn these tears into wine   Tears into wine   Tears into wine   Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine
