Helena
Long ago
Just like the hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I could say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again, when both our cars collide
[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
Give 'Em Hell, Kid
Oh baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans
And they shot me full of ephedrine
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene
Can we settle up the score?
If you were here
I'd never have a fear
So go on live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're beautiful
Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day
Like the firing squad or the mess you made
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street
In the best damn dress I own?
If you were here
I'd never have a fear
So go on live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say
Some might say
We are made from the sharpest things you'd say
We are young and we don't care
Wah-oh!
Your dreams and your hopeless hair
Oh wah-oh!
We never wanted it to be this way
For all our lives
Do you care...?
If you were here
I'd never have a fear
So go on live your life
But I miss you more than I did yesterday
You're so far away
So c'mon show me how
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say
What'd you call me?
Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy!
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Yeah
To The End
He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb
He's always choking from the stench and the fume
The wedding party all collapsed in the room
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom
Let's go down
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around, he's always looking at men
Down by the pool he doesn't have many friends
As they are
Face down and bloated, snap a shot with the lens
If you marry me
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
She keeps a picture of the body she lends
Got nasty blisters from the money she spends
She's got a life of her own and it shows by the Benz she drives at 90 by the Barbies and Kens
If you ever say never too late
I'll forget all the diamonds you ate
Lost in coma and covered in cake
Increase the medication
Share the vows at the wake
(Kiss the bride)
If you marry me
Would you bury me?
Would you carry me to the end?
Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
So say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you've made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
Say goodbye to the vows you take
And say goodbye to the life you make
And say goodbye to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
Say goodbye to the last parade
And walk away from the choice you've made
And say goodnight to the hearts you break
And all the cyanide you drank
To the last parade
And the parties fade
And the choice you make
To the end
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant
They say
Come with your arms raised high
Well they're never gonna get me
And like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your faith in me
Your life will never be the same
On your mother's eyes say a prayer
Say a prayer
Now
But I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men
As God had made us
Well I can't
Well I can
Too much too late
Or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I kiss your lips again
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cellmate's a killer
They make me do push-ups in drag
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself
Well I'm losing myself and well
I miss my Mom!
Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection or swing from a rope if you dare
Oh nobody knows all the trouble I've seen
Now
But I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men
As God had made us
Well I can't
Well I can
Too much too late
Or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I kiss your lips again
To your room
What they ask of you
They'll make you want to say
So long
But I don't remember
Why remember
You
Do you have the keys to the hotel
'Cause I'm gonna set this motherfucker on fire
(Fire)
Life is but a drink for the dead
And well I - I won't go down by myself
But I'll go down with my friends
Now now now now (Well I can't explain it, can't complain it)
Now now now
Now now now
(Giggels)
I'm Not Okay (I Promise)
Go!
Yeah!
Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again, you sing the words but don't know
(I'm not okay)
What it means
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook
For the last time--take a good hard look!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
(I'm not)
Guitar!
Woo!
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you'd read me like a book
But the pages all are torn and frayed
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay now
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
And I mean this ever so much that I am--
I'm fine!
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well let me tell you something
I'm not okay
The Ghost Of You
I never said I'd lie in wait forever
If I did we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try
At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever
Ever
Get the feeling
That you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms
She dies
She dies
At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If I fall down
At the end of the world or the last thing I see
You are never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
Gaze into her killing jar
I'd sometimes stare for hours (sometimes stare for hours).
She even poked the holes so I can breathe.
She bought the last line.
I'm just the worst kind.
Of guy to argue.
With what you might find.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie with you?
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Lost in the prescription
she's got something else in mind (something else in mind).
Check into the Hotel Bella Muerte.
It gives the weak flight.
It gives the blind sight.
Until the cops come.
Or by the last light.
And for the last night I lie.
Could I lie next to you?
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Aw sugar.
Slip into the tragedy you've spun this chamber dry.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Alright, give up, get down
It's just the hardest part of living.
Alright, she wants
It all to come down this time.
Pull the plug.
But I'd like to learn your name.
And holding on.
Well I hope you do the same.
Aw sugar.
Interlude
Saints protect her now,
Come angels of the Lord
Come angels of the Lord
Thank You For The Venom
Sister, I'm not much a poet but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face but you do so carry on
And on and on
I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
I'm just the way that the doctor made me
On and on and on and on
Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door
What's life like bleeding on the floor?
The floor, the floor
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me a reason to believe
So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
Preach all you want but who's gonna save me?
I keep a gun on the book that you gave me
Hallelujah, lock and load
Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpent son
It ain't the mark or the scar that makes you run
And run and run and run
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
Give me your reason to believe
So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave
I wear this on my sleeve
You wanna follow something
Give me a better cause to lead
Just give me what I need
Give me a reason to believe
So gimme all your poison
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
You're running after something that you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will
So gimme all your poison
(Fire at will)
And gimme all your pills
And gimme all your hopeless hearts and make me ill
(Fire at will)
You're running after something that you'll never kill
(Fire at will)
If this is what you want
(Fire at will)
Then fire at will
Hang 'Em High
Wait until it fades to black
Ride into the sunset
Would I lie to you?
Well I've got something to say
Grab your six-gun from your back
Throttle the ignition
Would I die for you?
Well here's your answer in spades
Shotgun sinners, wild-eyed jokers
Got you in my sights
Gun it while I'm holding on
After all is said and done
Climb out from the pine box
Well I'm asking you
Cause she's got nothing to say
The angels just cut out her tongue
Call her Black Mariah
Would I lie to you?
That girl's not right in the brain
Mass convulsions
Strike the choir
By the grace of God
Gun it while I'm holding on
But, don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So get your gun and meet me by the door
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
She won't stop me, put it down
So baby
Don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
Don't stop
If I fall
And don't look back
Oh baby don't stop
Bury me and fade to black
It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish
For what you did to me
Or what I'll do to you
You get what everyone else gets
You get a lifetime
Let's go
Do you remember that day when we met, you told me this gets harder
Well it did
Been holding on forever
promise me that when I'm gone you'll kill my enemies
The damage you've inflicted
Temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead
And I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that far
This helps me to think all through the night
Bright lights that won't kill me now
Or tell me how
Just you and I your starless eyes remain
Hip hip hooray for me
You talk to me
But would you kill me in my sleep
Lay still like the dead
From the razor to the rosary
We could lose ourselves and paint these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge my ghost with every breath I take
I'm coming back from the dead
And I'll take you home with me
I'm taking back the life you stole
This hole you put me in...
Wasn't deep enough and I'm climbing out right now
You're running out of places
To hide from me
When you go, just know that I will remember you
If living was the hardest part, we'll then one day be together
And in the end we'll fall apart, just as the leaves change in color
And then I will be with you, I will be there one last time now
When you go, just know that I will remember you
I've lost my fear of falling...
I will be with you
I will be with you
Cemetery Drive
This night
Walk the dead
In a solitary style and crash the cemetery gates
In the dress your husband hates
Way down
Mark the grave
Where the searchlights find us drinking by the mausoleum door
And they found you on the bathroom floor
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Back home
Off the run
Singing songs that make you slit your wrists
It isn't that much fun
Staring down a loaded gun
So I won't stop dying
Won't stop lying
If you want I'll keep on crying
Did you get what you deserve?
Is this what you always want me for?
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
Way down (x8)
I miss you
I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
And well I miss you
And well I miss you so far
And the collision of your kiss that made it so hard
That made it so hard
Way down (x9)
I Never Told You What I Do For A Living
Stay out of the light
Or the photograph that I gave you
You could say a prayer if you need to
But just get in line and I'll grieve you
Can I meet you?
Alone
Another night and I'll see you
Oh, another night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far
'Til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Touched by angels though
I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe
I'd live this every day
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and those
Only go so far
'Til you bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I tried
I tried
And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We'll love again
We'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
And never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
I tried
One more night
One more night
Well I'm laughing, crying, laughing
I tried
Well I tried
Well I tried
'Cause I tried
But I lied
I, I tried
I tried
I tried
And we'll love again
We'll laugh again.
We'll cry again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
Never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
