Hang me up on your wall above the coal fire Keep your promises Keep your promises Hang me up on your wall you're such a cold liar Do what your father says What your father says I still remember your voice it turns my blood cold The kids are fast asleep Keep them fast asleep Your soul still haunts these walls Like Taxidermy
[Chorus]
There's no kiss of life so baby don't pretend With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head You can burn the money in the fireplace You keep on telling white lies to the little kids I think it's time they knew just what it means to live You can burn your parents in the fireplace
I saw you run from the cold out of my arms Your mother cried for years She cried for years I saw you run through the cold it put ice in my heart Now tell me all your fears I'll be your greatest fear You couldn't cut the smile from my face Cause we're so proud today We're so proud today Our eyes will haunt these walls Like Taxidermy
[Chorus]
There's no kiss of life so baby don't pretend With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head You can burn the money in the fireplace You keep on telling white lies to the little kids I think it's time they knew just what it means to live Now burn your parents in the fireplace
