Street Of Shame

I like to stay in holy places, I'm happiest on consecrated ground

I worship the earth that I walk on, I seldom eat anything but sacred cow

I work in the church of my SOUL

My head holds a temple and a THORNY CROWN

I am pure of heart but salvation ain't enough

I am destined to live on the STREET OF SHAME

I'm on a death knell - in a heavenly hell

Yeah, I know, they got me again

Nailed me to a crucifix, whipped my chest

Gambled for my rags, smoked my fags, carved up my back, hack hack hack

Carved up my back, hack hack hack, CARVED UP MY BACK, HACK HACK HACK

Hammered a screwdriver into my ear to my brain

I'm watchin' my life swirl down the drain and I feel about as Abel as Cain

But I guess that that's the price of fame when you're destined to live on a

STREET OF SHAME

I can't shut off my ears to that infernal internal refrain...

"YOU ARE DESTINED TO LIVE, DESTINED TO LIVE ON THE STREET OF SHAME"

I can't shut off my ears to that infernal internal refrain...

"YOU ARE DESTINED, DESTINED TO LIVE, DESTINED TO LIVE ON THE STREET OF

SHAME"

I'm an angel who'se had his wings clipped - an angel in devil's boots

AN ANGEL IN DEVIL's BOOTS?

Sling-back pumps for a cloven hoof

Someone's tied TIN CANS TO MY TAIL

Someone's always driving in ONE LAST NAIL

I'm trying to use my halo as a life preserver but it's sprung a leak

THIS IS HOLY MURDER

I'm watching my life swirl DOWN THE DRAIN

And I feel about as ABEL AS CAIN

But I guess that that's the PRICE OF FAME

When you're destined to live in a STREED OF SHAME

"YOU ARE DESTINED TO LIVE, DESTINED TO LIVE, DESTINED TO LIVE ON THE

STREET

OF SHAME"

I'M ON A DEATH KNELL... IN A HEAVENLY HELL

I can't shut off my ears to that infernal internal refrain...

"YOU ARE DESTINED, DESTINED TO LIVE ON THE STREET OF SHAME...

STREET OF SHAME!"
