Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal And you never had a chance Love it, or leave it, you can't understand A pretty face, but you do so carry on, and on, and on
I wouldn't front the scene if you payed me I'm just the way that the doctor made me, on, and on, and on, and on Love is the red of the rose on your coffin door What's life like, bleeding on the floor, the floor, the floor
You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe
So give me all you poison And give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts And make me ill You're running after something That you'll never kill If this is what you want Then fire at will
Preach all you want, but who's gonna save me? I keep a gun on the book that you gave me, hallelujah, lock and load Black is the kiss, the touch of the serpeant sun Beneath the mark of the scar that makes you run, and run, and run, and run
You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison And give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts And make me ill You're running after something That you'll never kill If this is what you want Then fire at will
You'll never make me leave I wear this on my sleeve You wanna follow something Give me a better cause to lead Just give me what I need Give me a reason to believe
So give me all your poison And give me all your pills And give me all your hopeless hearts And make me ill You're running after something That you'll never kill If this is what you want Then fire at will
