House Of Wolves Lyrics
Well
I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be grantin' your permission
'Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said hey hey, hallelujah
I wanna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

(Say it lover say it) x4

You play ring around the ambulance
Like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And 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
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up 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
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

And 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So get up
So get down

Yes I, yes I, yes I am

Sexiest song on the album. The tongue rolling is Gee-tastic. *swoon*
I still believe that it's about Gerard's S and M tendencies.
Though, I think that's just me.

omg. i love this song.
i used to think like teenagers or famous last words were the best
but this and the sharpest lives are excellent.
some of the lyrics are wrong though,

instead of
"cause i got enough to say"
its "cause i got enough to spare"

and also:
Well a ring around the ambulance
Like I never gave a care
I said, choir boys surround you

should be:
You plat rign aroudn the ambulance
well like you never gave a care
so get the choir boys around you

,,,,
You better walk (

It's "kick me like a stray"
and "tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man."
and it's "we got innoccence for days"
and the [---]s are "I been a bad motherfucker" "tell your sister I'm another"

I heard the album is about his parents' death so maybe it's like the funeral and he's saying a few words.

I believe it's:
"So get the choir boys around you"
and
"We got innocence for days."

And it does actually sound like S-I-N, now that I think about it.

You got enough mistakes in this?

I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be granting your permission
Cos you havn't got a prayer

Well I said hey, hey hallulejah
I'ma come on sing the praise
So let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
(CHORUS)
And 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You play ring around the ambulance
Well like you never had a care
So get the choirboys around you
It's a compliment I swear

And I said ashes to ashes we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
And I said ashes to ashes we all fall down
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

(CHORUS)

You better run like the devil cos they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley cos they're never gonna find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell yer sister I'm another

(CHORUS)

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man

I love the way he rolls "ashes to ashes" but everyones been saying hes rolling his "r"s...where is there an "r" in "ashes to ashes"? Just wondering... Yeah everyones been saying that the words are wrong, so Im not be annoying and say it again, alothough I will say it is "S-i-n, I s-i-n" as in "Sin, I Sin", not "Yes I Am", or "Sin Is In". Just wanted to say that...I love this song, no clue what its about, but love it :] Oh, and people have been saying its about the patient, I bet it is, but I dont like the whole patient thing, as Ive said before.

the chorus can decipher =]



Well I think I知 gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house down
and say, hah, what I wanna say
Tell me I知 an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I知 a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I知 an angel
Take this to my grave


" wel i think im gunna burn in hell, everyone burn the house right down. and say, hah, what i wanna say. tell me im an angel take this to my grave"

[[he knows hes going to hell, nothing will change that. and he dont care so he'll 'burn the house right down' { the house in reffrence to the church,} forget about his beifs a do whatever the hell he wants. { it kinda relates to famous last words.. -- i am not afraid to keep on living i am not afraid to walk this world alone- }]]


"tell me im a a bad man, kick me like a stray"

[[ forget about him / abandon him like you would a stray dog ]]

"" I'd always heard it as "S-I-N I-S I-N" - sin is in "
I heard that too, but I thought it was "sin I sin"
:/

"Is anyone else mesmerised by how Gerard rolls his words on the second "ashes to ashes"."
oh you're definately not alone there :D


Oh, and if you piece certain lyrics together, it sounds like a completely different meaning.
"Kick me like a stray"
"Tell me I'm a bad bad bad bad man"
Maybe it's just me and my messed up mind ;-/

And I love how this song is so upbeat compared to their other songs, even if it's not their style at all :D

The Patient is accepting the fact that he's doomed to hell and is playing with several religious ideas(Contrition, ashes to ashes, hallelujah, praise etc.) Walk like the devil means he needs to know how to act like a demon because he's going to hell, if he acts like an angel he won't be left alone by hell. Hiding in the alley is telling him to leave, he'll never get home. The blood and the halls is a reference to a hospital.

it's about just not caring about your bad behavior and giving into tempatation. it starts out with guilt and ends with just owning the fact you're a bad person.

i totally love the sexual undertones by the way.

"this song is incrdibly sexy. I swear i got it the first day and i am now pregnant with its babies :)"

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not alone in my "knocked up" state!!! I can't think of a song sexier than that... (Hitchin' a Ride is close one though)

HELLO hey's not saying "Say it lover say it) x4"
He says "S-I-N, I S-I-N"
Which goes much better with the song anyway.

this is my take on the song:
Well
I know a thing about contrition
(Contrition is another word for love of god)
Because I got enough to spare
(Because he still loves god)
And I'll be grantin' your permission
'Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well I said hey hey, hallelujah
I wanna come on, sing the praise
Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days
(I think he is saying that his feelings for god haven't left him and he's always believed, but if he knows his innocence is going to leave soon and he(the patient) is going to hell

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
(He knows he's been one bad son of a bitch and hes kind of delerious)

And say, ha, 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 stray
(He's admitting that he's done alot of wrong things and he feels like he's going to be kicked out of heaven)
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

(Say it lover say it) x4

You play ring around the ambulance
Like you never gave a care
(I think in this part he is dying and he feels like god is just watching him die)
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
(he is obviously angry at god but still loves him)
And 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
We got innocence for days

Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

And say, ha, 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

You better run like the devil
'Cause they're never gonna leave you alone
You better hide up 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
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell your sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

And 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 stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So get up
So get down

Yes I, yes I, yes I am



Yep basically whoever wrote this song feels like a sinner and know they are this bad motherfucker but still is in touch with god somewhat, and they think they are going to hell. so yeah kurst10 i agree i think that the patient is somehow confronting god, or a preist and is kind of in a bad place emotionally and is very delirious and insane becuase he knows hes going to die and hes not sure where hes going to go. His death condtratics his belifs and actions.

TOTALLY and completely in the same boad as Merlot Godess , i sersly laughed when i first heard this song cuz it's after i don't love you and suddenly it's just like OMFG. I sooo much fun. it must be fun to play it live and stuff.
Ashes to ashes is the best part, right up there with Blood .
Gosh, make me feel bad for getting it off limewire

the end is 'S-I-N-I-S-I-N" which could be Sin Is In or Sin, I Sin. But that is the words, listen to a live version it's clearer there.

It's not "say it lover say it" after the first chorus either. At first I thought it said, "Sayonara" (meaning goodbye) but I'm not sure anymore. It's not what it says up there though!

Still my favorite song. Love it when they play it live. I beat a girl next to me during the "You better run..." part 'cause I was pumping my fist so hard.
