What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
We stole all Mama's baggage
2
And stuffed it with Daddy's cologne and Sunday best
3
And then I sat up in bed in a nervous sweat
4
Waiting for those creaking warning stairs
5
As the lights went out, I snuck out my window
6
And ran down those railroad tracks
7
There's no turning back
8
No, I ain't turning back
9
This city's a crucifix and I have suffered for it
10
Just feel the scar along my side
11
And I'm no savior
12
But I could have saved you from this Bible-beating life
13
The train leaves half past twelve
14
You're too afraid to live without
15
Without a father
16
With no provider
17
We're bastards all along
18
When they dumped you in the lake
19
Were you held under too long?
20
My only brother
21
We swore we'd both escape from the cloth
22
In Mama's baggage, I found a photo
23
Of our trip to Colorado Springs
24
I was young and defiant, but you were compliant
25
A happy toddler in Daddy's arms
26
I hung the picture upon the mirror in my dingy motel room
27
The sirens howl at night, strangers prowl outside
28
I tremble in bed thinking of you
29
I tried to call the house
30
I keep hanging up the phone
31
When I hear his voice, I remember those Sundays
32
And I'm glad I finally left home
33
I'd rather be alone than wrong
34
You keep nesting away your doubt
35
But I'm no sinner
36
Sure, I've made some mistakes
37
Some I can't forgive
38
And this might be my hell
39
But at least I damned myself
40
No more preachers nailing me to the cross
41
You're too afraid to live without
42
He who believes will be saved
43
He who believes will behave
44
So I'm condemned, huh?
45
Some baptism, anointed with piss and spit
46
How could you leave me behind and join their side?
47
How long until we all surrender?
