Far from this return
I fall out of grace
I dig my hole
I put the dead bodies in every day
You can't take this life
Take it back from me
I live my whole life baby
I live this everyday

You see your life in my hands
Your love is covered
In blood and piss
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe

It ain't about money
And it ain't for the
Dark red that you go
You see your heart in my hands
Let go

And go so far
And bury them
In a hole so deep

Back from this return
I fall out of grace
I dig this hole that I
Put dead bodies in every day
I see your life in my hands
And now it's covered
In blood and piss
Clean me off
I'm so dirty babe

It ain't for money, baby, baby
I just do it for fame
It's for the glory, baby
And blood stains

And goes so far
And buries them
So hard and deep
We'll both go

I tried...I tried...
And we'll all dance along
To the tune of your death
We'll laugh again
We'll cry 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...
I tried...
I tried...I tried

I tried...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
And I know in your heart
That you wanted to die!

Well never again
And never again
They gave us two shots through
The back of our heads
And we're all dead now...
