Lyrics

Heading there I've got
Six blocks more
I'm doing my very best to avoid the bed I made
Well wouldn't you
I can burn my bridges and
Come back as someone new
Well we said the words and we understood
We're undercover in Gomorrah
But the food's pretty good
Hey, I kinda like it here
And I think you do too
Oh my heart is red but my patience is turning blue
Ooh, what have we done
Ooh, what have we done
Put your conscience away
Lord, you're gonna hurt someone
Eggs and bacon and coffee grinds
If they only knew what we got into last night
They wouldn't believe it
Your turn to sail us to shore
Sometimes this house sounds like a
Chorus of slamming doors
Ooh, what have we done
Ooh, what have we done
Put your conscience away
Lord, you're gonna hurt someone
Something in our bones dressed up like love
Don't forget that kind of thing is recreational for us
I won't tell if you won't
It's nobody's business what we do
When the work is through
These people they
Don't know hunger they
Don't know thirst they
Think they own the heavens, but we were there first
You better believe it
We've got our fingers all over
Tell that wolf next door
Better look over his shoulder
