Heads on the Wall

I'm in a cold and lonely tomb

Surrounded by darkness in my newfound home

I'm not alone, anymore, alone, anymore

I'm looking back at yesterday

I do remember my escape and what I had to do

Have to do, don't you see, don't you see

Heads on the wall, I'm looking at

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive

Heads on the wall

I'm looking at heads on the wall, heads

Did you know if you die in a graveyard

The soul can't escape if you lose your head

But it lives on in the brain, in your brain

Don't you see, don't you see

Heads on the wall, I'm looking at

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive

Heads on the wall

I'm looking at heads on the wall

Last night when I climbed the cemetery gate

I saw a man digging in the ground

Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger

Jeremiah had worked here for years

Already had one foot in the grave

With my help, we got in the other

I can't believe he wasn't stronger

Mary, the hooker was coming to church

To let the reverend fill up her purse

Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in hell

No one must find out, no one must tell

Heads on the wall, I'm looking at

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive

Heads on the wall

And they're staring at me, and me, and me

No one comes and leaves again

I've got to make sure no one knows where I am

Especially that man, I remember

I can't get rid of those voices
