Saw the night give way Where the light was golden So I took my leave Of all that I was holding Darling come the day When your nightmares fall I’ll be on that first plane home And we’ll outrun them all Well I guess it’s sweet We still live like strangers in the street It’s the cruelest thing When the word is spoken I swear it’s a sin To see you heartbroken Darling come the day It’s too much to breathe I’ll hold this space for you And I won’t let you leave I will keep the beat We’ll still move like strangers in the street Darling come the time When you slip away I’ll be that whispered word That hangs around your doorway Our tale complete We’ll still dance like strangers in the street
You wear your mask, I'll wear mine
They don't come cheap, but they fit just fine
You can be her and I can be him
We can both sink when the rest don't swim
Little by little by little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little by all day long
We can pretend that our fates are entwined
The beautiful lies the beautiful kind
Everybody knows that the sun still sets
And everybody gives and everybody gets
Little by little by little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little by all day long
Little by little by little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little by all day long
I can be the one that you just can't shake
Till you swear that your eyes go blind
We can disappear till the sun burns a hole
In the life that we left behind
And I just won't stop till my heart gives way
And you and I are a long lost myth
There's nothing very much that I wouldn't do
To be the last of the men that you romanced with
The last of the men that you romanced with
Little by little by little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little by all day long
Little by little by little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little by all day long
You wear your mask I'll wear mine
They don't come cheap but they fit just fine
We can pretend that our fates are entwined
The beautiful lies the beautiful kind
Well here lie the remains Of every girl I’ve loved The princesses of heaven and hell Who thought they knew me well There goes my wishbone Here comes my crooked friend Screaming at you I was dead True right down to the end I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can Well here lies Mother Brown She always looked so young I was never too easy to please Always on my knees Well there goes my last hope Here comes my bullet train Shooting the hole in my head On the wrong right side of my brain I was getting ready I was shaking I was steady I was pleading to be left alive Well I was digging for the gold Just waiting to be told That my cheating heart would survive I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can Well here lie the remains of Celine and Lady Death A romance stringed up in a hole Another uneven soul There goes my last wish Here comes my audience Pitchforks pointing my way And it’s no coincidence I was in a bind Of the body and the mind And my mother was the last to know When I told her I was rotten I was better off forgotten And she never even said no, no, no, no, no I was never thick But the thought it wouldn’t click So I never had the best excuse You couldn’t say that I was best So they put me to the test With a never ending soul abuse I was in a fury With a judge and with a jury You could tell I was a wicked man Well there was no one on the wall But the stupid and the small But they always do the best they can I was getting ready I was shaking I was steady I was pleading to be left alive Well I was digging for the gold Just waiting to be told That my cheating heart would survive
She said, "I know that there will come a time
When I get nothing from the blood and the wine"
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
You'll find me a silver chain
They'll deny me and whisper my name
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'll carry myself half way blind
Through each and every doorway I can find
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna lose my lonely mind for you
Well there's an answer if only I knew
It'll carry my heart home to you
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And pray to let my little light shine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
Tell one last beautiful lie for me
Make all your promises rhyme for me
Keep me in line but do it honestly
Make it real, make it slow, stay alive for me
Come on, babe where the line goes dead
I'll be fire, I'll be rain, I'll be joy, I'll be dread
Come on, baby don't be shy
All I want is you and I
Out on the street
I'll be every face
There'll be no man alive
That can take my place
Give it up, let it go
The sooner you do the sooner I'll go
I'm digging the dirt for a sign
And I'll pray to let my little light shine
And set my heart on the line
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm gonna sell this soul of mine
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
I'm going to lose my lonely mind
I'm going to lose my lonely mind for you
