I Never Told You What I Do for a Living - 2025 Mix

Stay out of the light or the photograph 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 sure as hell ain't just for the fame

It's for the bodies I claim, and those

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, well, I tried

I tried

And we'll all dance along

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

When I laugh out, cry out, laugh out

I tried, well, I tried, well, I tried

'Cause I tried, but I lied, lied

I tried, I tried, I tried, well

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
