You feel the rain drops fall down on your skin
You see the storm's a comin'
But you can't afford the shelter, no
Fear so elementary
Love is revolutionary
Soon you will dance with the lord
And I'm sure you won't be bored
Come down from your ivory tower
I'm here to show love, fear, and power baby
Come and get your fill, I'm coming in for the kill

Well it was coming down
The rain was all I see
Everywhere I turned, darkness surrounded me
I called out now
When will this end?
Little did I know, it was just about to begin
And the seeds of sin are sown
In this world I've never known
The kind of man I turned into
Look back at me I see right through
I welcomed evil
I shook its hand
I looked her in the eyes, and I saw those grains of sand
Are they blue? She whispered
As they faded to grey
You can't leave, but you can't stay
Need this drag to pull me through
I'll leave when the walls tell me to
Hold me down by the bone, no!
You know the reaper don't travel alone
Lady Lucy, won't ya dance with me tonight?
When I look into your eyes, do you expect me to cry?
I'll never let it show, and you'll never let me go
Let me go!
Need this drag to pull me through
I'll leave when the walls tell me to
Hold me down by the bone, no!
You know the reaper don't travel alone
Lady Lucy, won't ya dance with me tonight?
When I look into your eyes, do you expect me to cry?
I'll never let it show, and you'll never let me go
Call the doctor, hold my hand
Let me see what you can
No need to speak, just don't be shy now darling
My sweet lover in the sky
Oh no!

That's All

Well I'm tired of being patient
Waiting for my turn
Well my clock is a tickin'
And when I leave this life you know I'm gonna burn
Hey everybody, come gather 'round
Let's listen to the same damn thing you've heard before
I'm talkin' bout change and love
Sex and drugs
Making money, cheating women, and war
I said now good God I hear her calling out your name
I rejoice in this sacred pain
Magdalene just take me away
And show me the pearly gates
Lord, if you're listening
I said don't mind me if I call
I'm just your average teenage American
I pray for mercy cause I have to
That's all
Witchy women and rock & roll
Put a curse on me and damned this soul
This ain't no true love end up in a heart shaped hole
Love me tender, till you're begging for more
(Let me hear you beg!)
I said now good God I hear her calling out your name
I rejoice in this sacred pain
Magdalene just take me away
And show me the pearly gates
Lord, if you're listening
I said don't mind me if I call
I'm just your average teenage American
I pray for mercy cause I have to
That's all
I said now good God I hear her calling out your name
I rejoice in this sacred pain
Magdalene just take me away
And show me the pearly gates
Lord, if you're listening
I said don't mind me if I call
I'm just your average teenage American
I pray for mercy cause I have to
That's all

Under the street light
I know it must be right
When you put your hand in mine
With skin of silver
I surrender
And teach me to not fear, when you aren't here
Break all of my walls down
And hold me when I am scared, cause when you aren't there
I just can't push on
And feel the weight of my heart, when it's pumping hard
When you hold me tight
And I love all the things you do, and I know it's true
Cause I can't help falling for you
And I can't help falling for you
No, I can't help falling for you
And I can't help falling for you
No, I can't help falling for you
All it took was a glance and I was your man
Before it even began
It took no time at all, cause when you start to fall
Everything else seems so small
And teach me to not fear, when you aren't here
Break all of my walls down
And hold me when I am scared, cause when you aren't there
I just can't push on
And feel the weight of my heart, when it's pumping hard
When you hold me tight
And I love all the things you do, and I know it's true
Cause I can't help falling for you
And I can't help falling for you
No, I can't help falling for you
And I can't help falling for you
Yes, I can't help falling for you
No!
And I can't help falling for you
No, I can't help falling for you
And I can't help falling for you
Yes, I can't help falling for you

Fade Away
01:33
|

|
Oh my god, I think I'm gonna
Fade away
Save my strength for another day
And then, I'll begin again
And don't you know?
That I'd never let you go
And we'd float on
By the sea side
I'd have never had thought
That you'd ever say goodbye
But you did
I watched you go
Right out my back door
Watched you leave
And fade away

What Have I Done?
06:25

Woman's gone, woman's gone
Left me, all alone
Woman's gone, woman's gone
Ain't got no home
Left me out in the street like a stray dog
And I can't see, can't see
through all this fog
What have I done?
To deserve this, sin
What have I done?
I've lost her again
What have I done?
Please let me in
What can I say?
You put me in pins
Forty days, forty nights
I've been looking for that light
Cause all I see, all I see
Can't be right
Oh this must be a dream
Oh God tell me what it means
I never knew my holy ghost could haunt me
What have I done?
To deserve this, sin
What have I done?
I've lost her again
What have I done?
Please let me in
What can I say?
You put me in pins
You put me in pins

Father

Lay me down in the back of the room
No you don't, have to go so soon
Say you're sorry and that you knew
No you don't, care enough to choose
And with every rule that I break
The scars still remain
And with every smile you fake
I am still to blame
Love me like a father
Love me like a father
Play pretend and act like you don't know
You know! The kind of man he is
Make me look at myself, I'll tell you what's broken
Fill my dirty wounds with soap and sin
Tell me I had it coming
Tell me I had it coming
Clean out my heart with blood and booze
Same old news
Clean out my heart with blood and booze
Same old new, oh no!
I remember coming home that day
Saw you slipping away
Looking back with dry eyes
I should've let you stay
Love me like a father
Love me like a father
