Skeleton Key

Ugly, I'm so very ugly I'm ugly, inside and out, there's no denyin' Love me, why would you ever love me? No one has ever loved me yet, pretty baby Skeleton key, it won't open up It won't open any lock I have on me Rusted, bent and rusted Your precious skeleton key I spent my life, tryin' every way to die Is it my fate to be the last one standin'? Don't you know it's a crime? All the shadowy peaks I climb And I have yet to ever be remanded Yes, I have yet to ever be remanded Holy, holy All of your religions are a lie Hold me, don't you try to hold me I clearly see my own way to the other side Yes, I will make my own way to the other side Cryin', quit your cryin' Sun'll likely rise again tomorrow As you follow it down, through the underground I would hook a leash upon your collar Nothin' good is sustained, I gladly accept the blame But all my words won't add up to a dollar Yes, my all words won't add up to a dollar Love me, don't say that you love me Nobody has ever loved me yet, pretty baby Cryin', quit your cryin' I have ten thousand tears that you can borrow Come on, follow me down through the underground And I will sing to you a song of sorrow I will sing to you a sweet, straight song of sorrow I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow Skeleton key, where are you? Skeleton key, bent and rusted All of your dreams are locked away The hands have stopped, on the timekeeper's clock And you have got to learn to breathe underwater Yeah, you have got to breathe, breathe underwater Skeleton key, bent and rusted As broken as the heart the dirt has eaten Love me, don't pretend to love me I've lost enough to know when I am beaten I've lost enough to know when I've beaten I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten Yes, I have lost enough to know when I've been beaten --- Skeleton Key - Mark Lanegan
