Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As a child I was given the gift
To entertain you
But through blood I inherited a life
That could destroy you
[Verse 2]
I drink all day, I smoke all day
I took your daughter's breath away
I've done it all but tap the vein
[Verse 3]
These hard lines and sunken cheeks are text book reasons all these Christians come alive and try to sell you
My soul for a goat
Yet I'll outlive the old
[Verse 4]
You know it's bad, some may say sad
A hangover is inspiration
Like a junkie I hurt for it
A bad trip, the emptiness
[Verse 5]
I never sleep, I always sleep
A lack of fulfillment to me is me
The big picture
[Verse 6]
These hard lines and sunken cheeks are part of what the Christians mean to immortalize my situation
My soul for a goat
Yet I'll outlive the old
[Verse 7]
(Simply to thy ghost I cling)
(Simply to thy ghost I reject)
(Simply to thy ghost I give spit)
(Simply to thy ghost I cling)
(Simply to thy ghost I reject)
[Verse 8]
Tempter, tempting, tempt me, molest me
You know that I'll submit
For this is my weakness and it saves me from relationships with those Christians you know they'll sell you
My soul for a goat
Yet I'll outlive the old
