History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong History's so strong
Sing another drinking song the honkytonk will do Making another breaking bone your favorite ingenue This the distant dawn This the distant dawn
I put my cards upon the table I do this because I am able One picks his broken down devotion I threw my pistol in the ocean Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station And when the verdict comes round I'm sure that you will go down
CHORUS: Stay all night we'll save the population Stay all night we'll save the population Stay all night we'll save the population Stay all night we'll save the population
(Instrumental Bridge)
Pistol and its pawn Sell it to the lexicon A pistol and its pawn Blood and border lines be drawn
Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew History's so strong History's so strong
I put my cards upon the table I do this because I am able One picks his broken down devotion I threw my pistol in the ocean Eyes wide with revelation Shine at the police station And when the verdict comes round I'm sure that you will go down
