I remember the iowa skyline where it bled into the corners of my eyes and i recall, now your mother left in springtime stranding you, and hurting you inside and we watched the devil scream at god begging him to please just stop fingers grasping at the thinnest air and i remember loving you the way that boys aren’t s’posed to do the way your fingers carded through my hair it’ll be you and me and we’ll be bursting at the seams run with me through the desert, through the trees and we were falling fast when you turned and looked at me you said ‘i’ll protect you they won’t get to you through me’ i remember the night they came and took you the way you called my name into the skies your fingers scraping across mine in the darkness i couldn’t find a grip i don’t know why and you told me not to be afraid not to let myself be swayed by my fears and by the loss of you the tears were streaming down my cheeks as they tossed you to the sea your body limp, and then i knew the truth it’ll be you and me and we’ll be bursting at the seams run with me through the desert, through the trees and we were falling fast when you turned and looked at me you said ‘i’ll protect you they won’t get to you through me’ i remember the iowa skyline the way the fires scattered in the night and i recall, now the screams of burning wicked the way they begged me just to see the light i felt the devil take my arm hold me close, and safe from harm fingertips, carding through my hair and you were gone, but not alone i’d be with you, rock and stone now that we could be free from the stares it’ll be you and me and we’ll be bursting at the seams run with me through the desert, through the trees and we were fading fast when you turned and looked at me I said ‘i’ll protect you they won’t get to you through me’

you used to call me ‘baby’ pink lipstick on crisp white sheets and you used to bruise my neck with kisses that my mother said looked like i’d loved a demon but on that stage i remember thinking you looked more like an angel the way you touched my cheek and said you better watch out they’ll tear that dress and they’ll scream and shout you better be brave cause there’s no love for boys who shave and when you were still in your youth your father told you he’d had no son and you tried to tell him the truth but he wouldn’t listen to anyone and i remember that night the night you came home in a fright with black tear-tracks down your cheeks and wouldn’t eat for a whole week saying you better watch out they’ll tear that dress and they’ll scream and shout you better be brave cause there’s no love for boys who shave and i remember sequins scattered over blood-red hems and i’d never been an artist but i wished that i could draw your face as you stepped out on that stage in black high heels that were all the rage and you were never perfect but in those moments it sure seemed it and you better watch out they’ll tear that dress and they’ll scream and shout you better be brave cause there’s no love for boys who shave and in the hospital, I watched your face turn grey and dull and the color on your cheeks wasn’t blush and wasn’t rogue and i remember beauty the way you could still smile at me and even as you left me i couldn’t cry cause you were free and you better watch out they’ll tear that dress and they’ll scream and shout you better be brave cause there’s no love for boys who shave

Well he met the devil at a back alley dive He was wasting in the gutter waiting to be alive A pastor and a choir boy said “pray for your sins” Then the pastor sipped a drink and got a room with the kid And that’s when in the bar there walked the devil himself And he had to admit that he carried it well And the devil said “to find your god just wait for the call” And then the choir boy was screaming and pounding the wall “You think when it goes dark that you’ll go up or down So you’ll try to walk the path of god while you’re still around Or else with sex, love and money try to lighten the load But we all fall down at the end of the road” CHORUS (and lie on 3rd line) Hellfire skin and bone So when all is said and done Will you read your bible son? And lie when all is said and done Well they got up and the devil said “the priests are a bore” And then they followed the screams and then he knocked on the door The pastor peeked out and then the altar boy ran And the pastor cowered in the corner cock in his hand The devil said “the one’s that go up, people like this That’s all they got up there so why not give me a kiss? If you give it to me baby I can lighten the load When we all go down at the end of the road.” To hellfire, skin and bone So when all is said and done Will you read your bible son? And fly when all is said and done So come and join the fun, boy it’s a party down there The saints are bored as hell you want the sinners I swear Dance and fuck and revel it’ll lighten the load Cause we all fall down at the end of the road Hellfire, skin and bone What will be your final home? Cause heaven’s cold when you’re all alone When the screen goes dark and all is said and done

Well, the bible said no blending thread And if you eat fish, you’re as good as dead So while you’re reading from the good old book Just remember where you’re headed when you croak Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) To the end that’s waiting when we leave this town Now you can preach about blood and sin But you’ll learn the truth, when you’re clocking in The dick I crave may hurt my soul But you won’t be laughing in your hidden hole Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) To the end that’s waiting when we leave this town So come on down, to the deep dark well There’s a cage for you, there’s a little cell Beelzebub’ll take your coat While Belial smiles a the devil’s jokes Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) To the end that’s waiting when we leave this town So laugh and laugh at the faults of man With the chains that drag at your feet and hands With the bass line punch, and the sulfur smell It’s a big old party in the pits of hell Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) Down, down, down (we head, we head) To the end that’s waiting when we leave this town

Have you noticed all your friends look good in black and see them trying Way back when when no one knew my name before they started crying All those words that everyone’s afraid to say While you’re still breathing, they wanna save you anyway And light up all those candles when it doesn’t matter anymore But for the boy born wrong life starts looking pretty long But ain’t it sad, ain’t it funny how they listen when you’re gone? But for the life I’ve led and everything she said At least you know they’ll care for you once you’re already dead Have you noticed everyone who’s there for you when you’re not there And all the friends who thought that they were scared of you, well now they care Two week martyrs hoist your body Way up high til you start rotting And sign their names in all the spaces they left blank when we were here But for the boy born wrong life starts looking pretty long Ain't it sad, ain't it funny how they listen when you're gone? And for the life I've led, and everything she said At least you know they care for you once you're already dead Lay you out in all your sunday best That suit they shamed and bind your chest Cause everyone’s a rebel when their martyr stares them in the face But for the boy born wrong life starts looking pretty long Ain't it sad, ain't it funny how they listen when you're gone? And for the life I've led, and everything she said At least you know they care for you once you're already dead For the boy born wrong life starts looking pretty long Ain't it sad, ain't it funny how they listen when you're gone? Ain't it sad, ain't it funny how they listen when you're gone?
