We hummed along to electric guitars
Condemned with you all
I marched across the muddied stream
I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell
And I looked at God in the face and I said
I served him papers with a seal from the governor
Goddamn you all
And I tied the tracks in a lover's knot
Now that the honeymoon's over
Around the finger of a beautiful girl
I was dragged kicking and screaming into light
Goddamn you all
Give me the strength to be widowed
We make no excuse for our genius
The spoiler throwing voices
And we drank each other under the covers
And the lock was picked with the church's key
Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
Can you hear the train coming?
I said, “God”, I said, I said [Incomprehensible]
Ooh, if the devil don't mind, well it's alright with me
Illuminated from beneath
And the standard, whoa oh oh oh's
Now that the honeymoon's over
'Cause I'd rather live my life in regret than not take part in it
As when we lusted after another
So what's my excuse now that hell has abandoned me?
Goddamn you all
So what do I do when the devil don't notice me?
I eased the devil back with the throttle
Condemned with you all
I tied the devil to the tracks
So what's my excuse now that hell isn't courting me?
But maybe it was he who lured me out instead
When we slept in penitent beds
I enticed the devil out with a bottle
I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell
Give me the strength to be widowed
Assembled in levels by the damned and fanatic for me
Goddamn you all
We awoke in the loving arms of attrition
Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
And in my 27th year
We found on the belt of the veteran
The vapors that they built this city on
And to open bar tabs in the taverns
But he don't write much for me anymore
When we keep hell in our hearts
I'll keep hell if hell will have me
Condemned with you all
Condemned with you all
We never loved ourselves so well
