I took a job at the factory
When I realized that you were not coming back to me
I put your letters in the kitchen drawer
I should not read them anymore
The substitute cult heroes union
Is still without a contract
My life with the living dead
All dressed up in nightmares
They took me to bed
My life with the living dead
Long walk off a short stage
They took me instead
I joined a band called the Haunted Hearts
Wrote some dubious keyboard parts
I wore my eyeliner just like you
Just like you taught me how to
The substitute cult heroes union
Is still without a contract
My life with the living dead
All dressed up in nightmares
They took me to bed
My life with the living dead
Long walk off a short stage
They took me instead
The band thinks I sold my soul
For rock & roll
But God only knows
I sold it for a lock of your hair
To keep underneath my pillow
To keep underneath my pillow
To keep underneath my pillow
To keep underneath my pillow
