What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You don't have to play me backwards
2
To get the meaning of my verse
3
You don't have to die and go to Hell
4
To feel the Devil's curse
5
Well, I thought my life was a photograph
6
On the family Christmas card
7
Kids all dressed in buttons and bows
8
And lined up in the yard
9
Were the golden days of childhood
10
So lyrical and warm
11
Or did the picture start to fade
12
On the day that I was born
13
I've seen them light the candles
14
I've heard them bang the drum
15
And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice
16
And I got no place to run
17
Let the night begin, there's a pop of skin
18
And the sudden rush of scarlet
19
There's a little boy riding on a goat's head
20
And a little girl playing the harlot
21
There's a sacrifice in an empty church
22
Of sweet lil' baby Rose
23
And a man in a mask from Mexico
24
Is peeling off my clothes
25
I've seen them light the candles
26
I've heard them bang the drum
27
And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice
28
And I got no place to run
29
So, I'm paying for protection
30
Smoking out the truth
31
Chasing recollections
32
Nailing down the proof
33
You don't have to play me backwards
34
To get the meaning of my verse
35
You don't have to die and go to Hell
36
To feel the Devil's curse
37
I'll stand before your altar
38
And tell everything I know
39
I've come to claim my childhood
40
At the chapel of baby Rose
41
I've seen them light the candles
42
I've heard them bang the drum
43
I've seen them light the candles
44
I've heard them bang the drum
