I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

Stay out of the light
All the photographs that I gave you
You could say a prayer if you need to.
But just get in line and IÂ’ll grieve you.
Can I meet you, alone?
Another night and IÂ’ll see you.
Another night and IÂ’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 goes so far to bury them.
So far and down we go.

Touched by angels though, I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe IÂ’d live this everyday.

Another knife in my hands,
A stain that never comes off the sheets.
Clean me off.
IÂ’m so dirty babe.
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame.
ItÂ’s for the bodies I claim and those,
Only goes so far to bury them.
So far and down we go.
Down.
And down we go.
And down we go.
And down we go.
And we all fall down.

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death.
WeÂ’ll love again, we'll laugh again.
And it's better off this way.

And 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 IÂ’m laughing', crying', laughing'.
I tried,
Well I tried,
Well I tried,
'Cause I tried
But I lied.
I tried.
I tried.
I tried.

And we'll love again and we'll laugh again.
WeÂ’ll try 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.

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now.
