Oh put it on, take it off real quick on the bottom of the pile, I’m feelin sick. You never cross my mind, not by baby night, no- you keep me in the beggar’s guild. So I sleep all day and I dream all night with the bottle in my hand I take the devil’s side. I smile real big just to keep it hid oh, the truth about my lack of will. So I run like hell from the city’s glow I lose my name, I pass before the folks I used to know If I go far away from the city grates and the long reach of the government. Oh all alone in a cold north sea, in the blue sky above a plane flew over me. The banner it pulled said “you are a fool,” “did you really think you’d ever win?” I’m taking off my dirty skin. There is nothing to refute my sin. I fear no one I fear no one but you. (Don’t … ) I lie only to tell the truth. (No) Oh the steep demands of the higher call oh you (palm?) all the words so the cogs won’t stall. I burned my clothes and I gut my soul and pretend that I was never born (ah yeah). Oh my oh my, look what you have done Spit your head out on the floor like you’re the chosen one. I give her my heart but she wanted no part so I sold it to an antique store. So I dug a hole four thousand miles down To the center of the Earth where I will not be found. Memories of the moon singing see you soon, oh I was always partial to the sun. I was picked up by two men of the law They said we’re taking you downtown, forget about your call. Hell’s no place for a wandering face Go take it up with Beelzebub. You laugh as you pull out the rug I was never really much in love. I fear no one I fear no one but you. (Don’t … ) I lie only to tell the truth. (No)
