lyrics

Everybody loses all their hearts

I'll build myself a wooden one that takes ten years to carve

I don't think I want to paint it red

Blue is far more suitable, but I'll show my grain instead

The swirling knots are where I've bled, but hickory hearts can't be broken



Heavy hearts are on the loose

They'll find their suckered way to you

And I'll be steady in my doom

Of the Philadelphia blues



I've been feeling rotten in my chest

I'll meld some pipes and motorize this bloody pumping mess

The engine wheels around the wooden art

The gears will grind, but I'll be kind

My boxcar-dragging heart

My racing pulse will soon explode

The steel is just too heavy for my bones



Heavy hearts are on the loose

They'll find their suckered way to you

And I'll be steady in my doom

Of the Philadelphia blues



I will have to excavate my chest

I'll dig everything out of there until there's nothing left

I'll make myself a hollow-bodied cage



Happy hearts are on the loose

They'll find their suckered way to you

And I'll be steady in my doom

Of the Philadelphia

Of the Philadelphia

Of the Philadelphia blues
