Heads on the Wall

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive
The soul can't escape if you lose your head
I'm looking back at yesterday
Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in hell
Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger
I'm looking at heads on the wall

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive
Especially that man, I remember
Have to do, don't you see, don't you see
Last night when I climbed the cemetery gate

I'm not alone, anymore, alone, anymore

Did you know if you die in a graveyard
To let the reverend fill up her purse

Heads on the wall, dead yet alive
Don't you see, don't you see
Mary, the hooker was coming to church
I saw a man digging in the ground
Heads on the wall
But it lives on in the brain, in your brain
Already had one foot in the grave
Heads on the wall
Heads on the wall, I'm looking at
Heads on the wall
Heads on the wall, I'm looking at
No one must find out, no one must tell

Jeremiah had worked here for years
And they're staring at me, and me, and me
I'm looking at heads on the wall, heads

With my help, we got in the other

I've got to make sure no one knows where I am
Heads on the wall, I'm looking at
No one comes and leaves again

I do remember my escape and what I had to do
I can't believe he wasn't stronger
