House Of Wolves

I know a thing about contrition
'Cause I got enough to say
And I'll be grantin' your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer
I said, hey hallelujah
Well come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence today

Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house down
She says well, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

Well a ring around the ambulance
Like I never gave a care
I said, choir boys surround you
It's a compliment, I swear
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
Without innocence today

Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the oustside
She says, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

You better walk like the devil,
Cause they’re never gonna leave you

You better hide ‘em in the alley
Cause they’re never gonna find you a home

And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls

Well I should say, what I wanna say
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I’m a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I’m an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I’m a bad man, bad man… man
Tell me I’m a bad man, bad man… man.

I wonder
If you could get me a drink
Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded
comb my hair for me
help me gather all my things
and bury me
in all my favorite colors,
my sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
cause the hardest part of this,
is leaving you.

Turn away,
cause I'm awful just to see
cause all my hair's abandoned all my body,
all my agony,
know that I will never marry,
and baby I'm just dyin' from the chemo,
but counting down the days to go.

It's just a feeling
and I don't know
that if you say,
good-bye today,
I'd ask you to be true,
cause the hardest part of this,
is leaving you...

cause the hardest part of this,
is leaving you...
