I Never Told You What I Do For a Living
Stay out of the light 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 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 lose 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 of this way
And never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of our 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.
Well I tried One more night One more night well I'm laughin' out, cryin' out, laughin' 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 i
And we'll love again, we'll laugh again We'll cry again and we'll dance again And it's better of this way So much better of this way I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
Well never again, and never again They gave us two shots to the back of our head And we're all dead now
