Tear it down Strip the layers off My turpentine Old paint, old looks Cover up the past White heat, white light Super white bones Bones of you and I
Pure if I… Can't you help me? Pure if I… Won't you help me? Purify you and I Purify you and I Pure if I… Can't you help me? Pure if I… Won't you help me? You and I purify
Truth and dare Peeling back the skin Acid wash Ghost white Ultra clean Wanna be skeleton Clear eyes Diamond eyes Strip the past of mine My sweet turpentine
I can find the dirt on anything I can find the dirt on anything
I ain't dancing with your skeletons I ain't dancing with what might have been
Words and Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Bob Rock
