I tied the devil to the tracks (Can you hear the train coming?) I served him papers with a seal from the governor The spoiler throwing voices The vapors that they built this city on But he don't write much for me anymore When we keep hell in our hearts We make no excuse for our genius So what's my excuse now that hell has abandoned me? I enticed the devil out with a bottle But maybe it was he who lured me out instead When we slept in penitent beds We awoke in the loving arms of attrition So what's my excuse now that hell isn't courting me? Give me the strength to be widowed Now that the honeymoon's over Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors Condemned with you all Goddamn you all Condemned with you all Goddamn you all I marched across the muddied stream Illuminated from beneath And the lock was picked with the church's key We found on the belt of the veteran And to open bar tabs in the taverns Assembled in levels by the damned and fanatic for me We never loved ourselves so well As when we lusted after another We hummed along to electric guitars And the standard, whoa oh oh oh's And we drank each other under the covers I eased the devil back with the throttle 'Cause I'd rather live my life in regret than not take part in it Ooh, if the devil don't mind, well it's alright with me So what do I do when the devil don't notice me? Give me the strength to be widowed Now that the honeymoon's over Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors Condemned with you all Goddamn you all Condemned with you all Goddamn you all And in my 27th year I was dragged kicking and screaming into light And I looked at God in the face and I said I said, ?God?, I said, I said [Incomprehensible] I tied the devil to the tracks Can you hear the train coming? And I tied the tracks in a lover's knot Around the finger of a beautiful girl I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell I'll keep hell if hell will have me I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell I'll keep hell if hell will have me --- INRIhab - Every Time I Die
