Bled White (Early version) Lyrics
There's a glow at the border
Ghost city at the 409
But the city has been bled white
White city on the 409
And the doctor ordered
White city on the 409
He drinks all night
To see who throws up first
Without feeling much worse
Pour white
So I wait for the 14
White city on the 409
And I wait for the 409
White city on the 409
In a yesterday dream
White city on the 409
On a nicotine high
To drag the sunset down
Paint this pailing town
Pour white
So here it comes with a blank expression
Looking for me because I'm fazed
I feel the same
Happiness pulls me in my direction
Going to buy you this way
To feel your pain
Don't you dare disturb me
White city on the 409
While I'm balancing my past
White city on the 409
Because you can't even hurt me
White city on the 409
Like it already has
You didn't treat me right
I'm not fucked, not quite
Pour white
Pour white
Ghost city at the 409
But the city has been bled white
White city on the 409
And the doctor ordered
White city on the 409
To see who throws up first
Without feeling much worse
Pour white
White city on the 409
And I wait for the 409
White city on the 409
In a yesterday dream
White city on the 409
On a nicotine high
Paint this pailing town
Pour white
Looking for me because I'm fazed
I feel the same
Happiness pulls me in my direction
Going to buy you this way
To feel your pain
White city on the 409
While I'm balancing my past
White city on the 409
Because you can't even hurt me
White city on the 409
Like it already has
I'm not fucked, not quite
Pour white
Pour white

i think it goes like this:
don't you dare disturb me while i'm balancing my past 'cause you can't even hurt me like it already has you didn't treat me right but i'm not fucked, not quite
He's right. This is the alternate lyrics written by Elliott.
So many alternative versions of this songs, some have the lyrics going to pioneer square and crush blind instead of pour white or bled white.
These lyrics are taken from the Jackpot sessions demo. Theres another demo made before this one with different lyrics. The earlier one has crush blind lyric and sounds different but quality isn't as good.
