I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Stay out of the light

Or the photographs 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's 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 off this way

Well, never again and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the 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

I tried

One more night, one more night

Well, I'm laughing, crying, laughing

I tried

Well, I tried

Well, I tried

'Cause I tried

But I lied

I lied

I tried

I tried

I tried

And we'll love again

We'll laugh again

We'll cry again and we'll dance again

And it's better off this way

So much better off 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 the head

And we're all dead now
