I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Stay out of the light
 Or the photographs that I gave you
 You can say a prayer if you need to
 Or just get in line and I'll grieve you
 Can I meet you alone?
 Another night and I'll see you
 Another night and I'll be you
 Some other way to continue
 To hide my face
 Another knife in my hands
 A stain that never comes off the sheets
 Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe
 The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
 I keep a book of the names and those
 Only go so far 'til you bury them
 So deep and down we go
 Touched by angels though
 I fall out of grace
 I did it all so maybe
 I'd live this every day
 Another knife in my hands
 A stain that never comes off the sheets
 Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe
 It ain't the money and it's sure as hell ain't just for the fame
 It's for the bodies I claim and lose
 Only go so far 'til you bury them
 So deep and down we go, down
 And down we go
 And down we go
 And down we go
 And we all fall down
 I tried
 ♪
 I tried
 And we'll all dance alone
 To the tune of your death
 We'll love again
 We'll laugh again
 And it's better off this way
 Well, never again and never again
 They gave us two shots to the back of the head
 And we're all dead now
 Well, never again and never again
 They gave us two shots to the back of the head
 And we're all dead now
 I tried
 One more night, one more night
 Well, I'm laughing, crying, laughing
 I tried
 Well, I tried
 Well, I tried
 'Cause I tried
 But I lied
 I lied
 I tried
 I tried
 I tried
 And we'll love again
 We'll laugh again
 We'll cry again and we'll dance again
 And it's better off this way
 So much better off this way
 I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
 Well, never again and never again
 They gave us two shots to the back of the head
 And we're all dead now
