I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Stay out of the light

Or the photographs that I gave you

You can say a prayer if you need to

Or just get in line and I'll grieve you

Can I meet you, alone

Another night and I'll see you

Another night and I'll be you

Some other way to continue

To hide my face

Another knife in my hands

A stain that never comes off the sheets

Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe

The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes

I keep a book of the names and those

Only goes so far till you bury them

So deep and down we go

Touched by angels though

I fall out of grace

I did it all so maybe

I'd live this every day

Another knife in my hands

A stain that never comes off the sheets

Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe

It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame

It's for the bodies I claim and lose

Only goes so far till you bury them

So deep and down we go down

And down we go

And down we go

And down we go

And we all fall down

Ahh, ahh

All fall down

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death

We'll love again, we'll laugh again

And it's better off this way

And never again and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now

Well never again and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now

I tried one more night, one more night

Well I'm laughin', cryin', laughin'

I tried, well I tried, well I tried

'Cause I tried but I lied, I lied

I tried, I tried, I tried, I

Oh and we'll love again and we'll laugh again

We'll cry again and we'll dance again

And it's better off this way

So much better off this way

I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

Never again and never again

They gave us two shots to the back of the head

And we're all dead now
