Stay out of the lights

Or the photograph that I gave you

You can say a prayer if you need to

Or just get in line and I'll grieve you

Can I meet you, alone

Another night and I'll see you

Another night and I'll be you

Some other night 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 till you bury them

Do deep and down we go

Touched by grace, though I've fall out of grace

I did it 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 aint the money

And it sure as hell aint just for the fame

It's for the bodies I claim and lose

Only go so far till you bury them

Do 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 along to the tune of your death

We'll love again, We'll laugh again

It's better 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

And never again, and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now

Well I tried

One more night

One more night

Well I'm laughin out, cryin out, laughing out loud

I tried, well I tried, well I tried

Cause I tried, but I lied

I lied

I tried

I tried

I tried, well

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 this way

I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

And never again, and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now
