lyrics

He picks up the world and wraps it around his shoulder
has no fear his heart is made of stone
throws a five dollar bill right upside his waitress
lands in a pool of blood next to her soul

Please don’t come I’m overcompensating for what went wrong
she’s alive and I know that she is home
Knock before you enter, you may not like what you will see
and we’ll mop up all the blood spilled on the floor

I am a man mistaken for what he’s given
grieving for the angel he used to know
she haunts him with every second of his memory
mosey on down where the wild roses grow

She ain’t givin’ into love
Jesus Christ or anyone
She ain’t givin’ into me
even though I love her so

Please don’t come I’m overcompensating for what went wrong
she’s alive and I know that she is home
Knock before you enter, you may not like what you will see
and we’ll mop up all the blood spilled on the floor

Please don’t come I’m overcompensating for what went wrong
she’s alive and I know that she is home
Knock before you enter, you may not like what you will see
and we’ll mop up all the blood spilled on the floor

and we’ll mop up all of baby’s blood on the floor
