You come like a pistol prayer A faithless friend in need on a double dare Cut down from the cross you bear But as you hit the ground nobody's left to care
Long is the blackest hour But I'm so lonely I just can't walk away Long is the blackest hour But I'm too far-gone to turn back now
Slapped down like a crying clown A vestal virgin broken at the edge of town
And I'm screaming inside Give it to me I can take it
