The rain came in the night. The old gang washed up too. A little candle light, and all that's old is new. Across the table we crow and coo. Oh, if only half of it were true. Things are gonna be a whole lot better when I'm a thousand miles away from you. I'm a bastard born, but a school sweetheart. Full of feather-headed dumbling love. I'm wearing that ring and keeping a dove. Why does it take so long to get a little be lost? To get a little bit of lead on the double cross? I should have learned to fight. I'm tempted all the time. By rot that's wrapped in white and tastes too far refined to court a common crime. Oh, is that some kind of mercy on your mind? Mercy, mercy, mercy, I would rather go blind.
