You'll find the cross only fits When your hands and feet are nailed to it "Can we get a picture with the pauper And another with the prince?" Ma'am, he's got your daughter wrapped in his fists
But to his brothers, just another bastard With a story about a girl And how she made him king of her gracious hips She's found a way to crown his fingertips
Let's take apart your smile, tooth by tooth
Let's show them where the bad ones go Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose Let's show them where the bad ones go Paint black lines on your bones
Wake all the children from their sleep He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap What lives below he wouldn't know So let's tell them where the bad ones go
You curse the tail between your legs Blue-faced and black-jawed Your innocent eyes rotted From your bedroom in the night A lesson from the learned Don't sell your soul just yet
If the herd is the temptation That the faithless can't evade, "We ate all forbidden grapes and retreated to the vineyard To the void in which we dwell With a tortured youth and heartaches we'll sell I'll be the blood and body if you'll ring that bell."
Let's take apart your smile, tooth by tooth
Let's show them where the bad ones go Another case of a sheep bearing a broken nose Let's show them where the bad ones go Paint black lines on your bones
Wake all the children from their sleep He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap What lives below he wouldn't know So let's tell them where the bad ones go
You'll go down in history With notebooks, pens, and melodies But you're running from all of us You're running from all of us You're running from all your love
Wake all the children from their sleep He's robbing pillow-cased dreams and selling cheap What lives below he wouldn't know So let's tell them where the bad ones go
