I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Stay out of the light Or the photographs 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's sure as hell ain't just for the fame It's for the bodies I claim and lose 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 I tried And we'll all dance alone 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 Well, I'm laughing, crying, laughing I tried Well, I tried Well, I tried 'Cause I tried But I lied I lied 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 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
