Oh shit we're back again
Back alley, tell your friends
Them boys are back in town
They're gonna burn it down
Don't say we didn't warn you
We didn't come for the brass ring
We came for everything
Your suits don't mean shit to me
I'm killing snakes, call me Patrick
Don't say we didn't warn you

I see you falling over your feet to get to me
What a shame it must be to feel so small
Oh so small
You're laying there saying:
“Please tread on me. Give me another boot to lick.”
Well I ain't shaming your kink, just asking why
Why?

You're the messiah-elect?
Fully loaded god complex
Step up or step down
You're such a fucking clown
Don't say we didn't warn you
Now I'm living rent free
In the space you gave me
Don't break your head about it
Ain't worth insurance fees
Don't say we didn't warn you

I see you falling over your feet to get to me
What a shame it must be to feel so small
Oh so small
You're laying there saying:
“Please tread on me. Give me another boot to lick.”
Well I ain't shaming your kink, just asking why.

Oh lucky rabbit's foot my charm is wearing thin
I sway through the door with a devilish grin
Give me a shot of dirt and deer blood - give me sin
If you hop in the back I'll take you for a spin
Y'all don't even know who the fuck I think I am

I stumble in
I kinda dig this scene
Red carpet at my feet to match my nosebleed
Got a fat lip and I speak in tongues
I'm not much of a man but I'm more than you want

I met the Morning Star in a dive bar
She gave me devil's dandruff
I stepped right into that gaping maw, who knew hell had vinyl floors?
She ran a hotel out of the Bible Belt
She said: "I'll pray for your sins."
I said: "You're most of 'em."
Y'all keep playing preacher and I'll keep getting lit

I stumble in
I kinda dig this scene
Red carpet at my feet to match my nosebleed
Got a fat lip and I speak in tongues
I'm not much of a man but I'm more than you want

By the fall she stood alone
Just like her father foretold
By the hammer he lived and died
She picked roses to lay by his side
When the rain came up through the hills
The whole roof leaked out the truth
By the hammer he built his home
She picked thistles to lay by his throne

Oh, sun is shining
It gleams on the bronze of her shield
Winter's breath creeps up on the back of her neck
She knows where she must go
She lit up the pyre and knelt in the snow
Oh, by the light of the moon she stood waiting
By the grace of the gods she would slay them
And the blood it would stain her pretty white dress
If Odin wills, she'll have their heads - she said another prayer in his name

Burn the bridges, salt the earth
Slaughter cattle, thin the herds
Sing and cry, Valhalla heard
Live and die by the hammer's curse

Swimming through sludge to where the shadows grow
Not a light in sight, 'save for the firefly glow
You keep a cauldron boiling and it's set on a low
Mmmm, the smell alone is enough to get a good man home

I've got gator skin on my finger tips, oh honey
I know that I should've been home before the sun dipped
Well honey don't you worry 'bout me
I know may way around these parts
I carved our names into the old oak tree, many moons ago

Drag my feet through mud feeling six feet down
The turning of the screws makes an awful sound
And the cypress trees they weep for me
A deafening howl, just like a banshee

I've got gator skin on my finger tips, oh honey
I know that I should've been home before the sun dipped
Well honey don't you worry 'bout me
I know may way around these parts
I carved our names into the old oak tree, many moons ago

Don't show me light - I like it black as night
I used to be holy too - just not all the way through

Back in drag
Paint my face
Wear a smile across my teeth
Hold my bag
Tie my laces in a noose if you please
'Cause shit it's still the same fucking scene
Surely it ain't just me?
I've brought disease and I'll spread it if you let me

And I've won some
But I lost some too
I've been told
It's all part of the game
And I burned through
A stack or two
I've been told
Money ain't no thing

You're all so fucking jaded
I bet if your friend made it
You'd string them high like Christ
And bleed them dry
Oh Mary you should've seen me in my prime
I could've made it
I just didn't have the time

And I've won some
But I lost some too
I've been told
It's all part of the game
And I burned through
A stack or two
I've been told
Money ain't no thing

Now I'm just a battering lamb

And I've won some
But I lost some too
I've been told
It's all part of the game
And I burned through
A stack or two
I've been told
Money ain't no thing
And I've heard it all before
But I ain't your battering lamb

Poison the youth
I'm so aloof
It works even better when I promise the truth
And I'm so vain I think my blood is blue
Lucky for you I'm shallow too

Unhinge your jaw - swallow it whole
You drink the kool-aid, I'll drive us home
You should've left when you could
And if I were you I surely would

You must've heard me all wrong
It's a balancing act with this tongue
Today I'm full of it, tomorrow I'll be empty again

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
Might be the captain, but I ain't going down
And if we sink, there ain't no lifeboats
It's a one way trip and it's a shame

You must've heard me all wrong
It's a balancing act with this tongue
Today I'm full of it, tomorrow I'll be empty again

Bite that lip - roll your eyes
Draw some blood - practice that sigh
I know it hurt, but mostly in his pride
Yeah he wanted cake but he said he ain't that kinda guy

"Don't act like you don't know"
"You stuck your neck out on this one"
Don't give that cancer a chance to grow
Cut it to the bone

Your skin is porcelain, but so is he
Ego wrapped in cellophane, such a fragile baby
What will the people say?
How will he meet their gaze?
What would his mother think?
Ain't your problem, never been

"Don't act like you don't know"
"You stuck your neck out on this one"
Don't give that cancer a chance to grow

Empty bottles on the floor
I swear to God we've been here before
And I know you've bled for this, but so have I and it ain't worth it

I know you're better than this
You got a hit, I got a miss
I know you're better than this
Be better than this

Now all I've got left is wasted youth
And all I have is half of - half of the truth
I said I never felt lonely
Until I met you

When's the tide gonna turn?
When you're finally in an urn?
When's your ship coming in?
Where's your heavy head been?

Oh no have I mistaken the rain on the roof for the rattle of your keys again?
These spirits are flowing - a little fast for the season, a little slow for my reasoning
Oh my lord, the fields are lush and green, just like you left them
I light a candle every eve, but only the moths come out to the feast

There's no reason to go scaring up ghosts
I found my peace of mind - well almost

I feel like I spoke too soon
I said too much for my own good
I feel like I broke too soon
I bled too much for my own good

Oh my, have you heard the news?
The sky is falling many years too soon
The levee broke - them good ol' boys all drowned
And to be honest the whiskey never made its way around
I've been knee deep in the tracks the devil plowed
And I held out hope that a rope would come around
I've dug my way out of worse before
When only my shadow came out when I called

There's no reason to go scaring up ghosts
I found my peace of mind - well almost

I feel like I spoke too soon
I said too much for my own good
I feel like I broke too soon
I bled too much for my own good

I'm closing this book
I've seen too much and my eyes are getting tired
I'm done waiting on you
And I ain't raising the dead just 'cause I wasn't through yet

There's no reason to go scaring up ghosts
I found my peace of mind - yes I did

I feel fine
