every time i die – inrihab lyrics
i tied the devil to the tracks
(can you hear the train coming?)
i served him papers with a seal from the governor
the spoiler throwing voices
the vapors that they built this city on
but he don’t write much for me anymore
when we keep h-ll in our hearts
we make no excuse for our genius
so what’s my excuse now that h-ll has abandoned me?
i enticed the devil out with a bottle
but maybe it was he who lured me out instead
when we slept in penitent beds
we awoke in the loving arms of attrition
so what’s my excuse now that h-ll isn’t courting me?
give me the strength to be widowed
now that the honeymoon’s over
grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
condemned with you all
godd-mn you all
condemned with you all
godd-mn you all
i marched across the muddied stream
illuminated from beneath
and the lock was picked with the church’s key
we found on the belt of the veteran
and to open bar tabs in the taverns
-ssembled in levels by the d-mned and fanatic for me
we never loved ourselves so well
as when we l-sted after another
we hummed along to electric guitars
and the standard, whoa oh oh oh’s
and we drank each other under the covers
i eased the devil back with the throttle
’cause i’d rather live my life in regret than not take part in it
ooh, if the devil don’t mind, well it’s alright with me
so what do i do when the devil don’t notice me?
give me the strength to be widowed
now that the honeymoon’s over
grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
condemned with you all
godd-mn you all
condemned with you all
godd-mn you all
and in my 27th year
i was dragged kicking and screaming into light
and i looked at god in the face and i said
i said,? god?, i said, i said [incomprehensible]
i tied the devil to the tracks
can you hear the train coming?
and i tied the tracks in a lover’s knot
around the finger of a beautiful girl
i’ll keep h-ll, i’ll keep h-ll
i’ll keep h-ll if h-ll will have me
i’ll keep h-ll, i’ll keep h-ll
i’ll keep h-ll if h-ll will have me
