I cannot spend another night in this home I close my eyes and take a breath real slow The consequence is if I leave I'm alone But what's the difference when you beg for love?
As I run through glass in the street Kerosene hearts carry the name that my father gave me And take the face of the wolf
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me
I met a girl who never looked so alone Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue We fell in love and now we're both alone
'Cause I don't need any more friends And another kiss like a fire on pavement We'll burn it down till the end
Oh, oh This is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me The water is rusted, the air is unclean And there for a second I feel free This is a wasteland, my only retreat
I waited all this night to honor you and say "I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me"
This is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me You said What about us well, what about me? Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain Cause This is a wasteland, my only retreat Paralyze me don't let me jump don't let me fall
