1
Look into my eyes, he tells her
2
I'm gonna say goodbye, he says, yeah
3
?
4
All the day she thinks of is love, yeah
5
They whip him through the streets and alleys there
6
The gormless and the baying crowd right there
7
I can't get enough of that doomsday song
8
You can't get enough of it all,
9
Listen!
10
Listen to the whores, he tells her
11
He fashions paper sculptures of them
12
He drags them to the river's bank in the car
13
Their soggy paper bodies wash ashore in the dark
14
And the priest stiff in hate now demanding fun begin
15
? for the pleasure of that priest
16
Here I am
17
Not quite dying
18
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
19
Its branches throwing shadows
20
On the gallows for me
21
And the next day
22
And the next
23
And another day
24
Ignoring the pain of their particular diseases
25
They chase him through the alleys, chase him down the steps
26
They haul him through the mud and they chant for his death
27
And drag him to the feed of the purple-headed ?
28
First they give you everything that you want
29
Then they take back everything that you have
30
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
31
They can work with Satan while they dress like the saints
32
They know God exists for the devil told them so
33
They scream my name aloud down into the well below
34
Here I am
35
Not quite dying
36
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
37
Its branches throwing shadows
38
On the gallows for me
39
And the next day
40
And the next
41
And another day
42
Here I am
43
Not quite dying
44
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
45
Its branches throwing shadows
46
On the gallows for me
47
And the next day
48
And the next
49
And another day
50
Here I am
51
Not quite dying
52
My body left to rot in a hollow tree
53
Its branches throwing shadows
54
On the gallows for me
55
And the next day
56
And the next
57
And another day
58
