I can’t get by on what you give You lead the lie and I know your tricks There’s something wrong with a second chance Always looked for what you have left
I’m not the one and we’re not free To know the rest of the story I’m not the one Even unto the end
Black as light the only light A single flame cannot be shown Jagged pulse you feel no pain The numbing deep is what you crave
Have I seen the catalyst The rising corpse of tragic love Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun
There’s a wicked look that hides your face Can’t ever get to a real place In sleep as deep and sweet as death See the past fading before me
I’m not the one and we’re not free To know the rest of the story I’m not the one Even unto the end
Black as night the evil eye Is staring out beyond the grave There’s no cover I can run to Never should go
As I write these final words I lay the cards out showing why Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun
Dirt cheap, sorely downcast Had a lot of living low I know that we’re damned from the start Dirt cheap, slowly downcast Had enough of little love I know that we’re damned from the start Dirt cheap, slowly downcast Can’t escape your evil love I know that we’re damned from the start Oh evil love…
I’m not the one Even unto the end
Oh this flame will never be shown Though I never should go
All day long the evil eve Is hammering a jagged pulse Got to get back got to leave that Home in the sun
