lyrics

Cigarettes stain my teeth. Mixed with blood, these cut are deep
Feel the worms in your ears, dance to tunes that I put there
I'm the one to believe; I'm not a liar, I'm not a thief
Figure out underneath, who's the rat and where's the feast man

I wanted to keep on shining out there
and somehow make it through
and I wanted to make you happy too

I'm the one to believe- I'm a model of a priest
Figure out who goes down, you're the one with the mouth
Tell me now, whose the creep? Who's the one that's the thief?
You're the one who's subdued, but you got real nice teeth girl

and I wanted to make you happy. Yeah, well, you figure it out
and I wanted to hand you everything and take you sompleace else
I needed some company, some relief yeah, take me somewhere
I needed some abstinence from myself
Take me back to hell

(oh won't you take me back)

I wanted to keep on shining out there
and somehow make it through
and I wanted to make you happy too

I'll get there somehow...
