Baby girl, I'm a blur. I spoiled, stunted, sickened her.
God and death are none of my concern; I'm no philosopher
Deep in your heart, stitched the key and only one can set me free
From the beast where I dwell and let the saints all burn in hell
So take what you what from me (I'm on my way)
And take all I've got from me
You're with me all the time
The drugs can have my mind, love
You own the rest, you'll find
And you're with me all the time
On the roof, burning black, the city smoke from the attack
But on the roof, we love the beast to death with sweat and whiskey breath
We'd fall right down. We'd get back up again
That's how we'd be, you and me
I would not crowd, I would not stifle you
I'd let you breathe over me
We're on a sinking ship but we're escaping it
No matter where I go or whore my mind
I'll always stumble home and pray I'll find
You with your flame-throw eyes and jilted smile
So you can soothe my wounds and drain my bile
