And with your purest light, why don't you shine on me

Oh, If your eyes water
You got your favorite number to spin
And oh, ah oh, ah oh, whoa, whoa
What a crying shame, a crying shame

Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
Oh, you should have seen how the arches tumble
They're golden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood
I'm caught in a whirlwind, I'm going to heaven
I'm standing on trial and it's painted on canvas
An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic
And oh, ah oh, ah oh
What a crying shame, a crying shame
What we became
I bowed my head in the morning light and said goodnight
I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
Stumbled down the stairs and hang myself on high
And I started for the town lyin' in the front yard, I died
