lyrics

Everybody loves a martyr
But you can keep your crown of thorns
Stick the nails back in your garter
'Cause my palms are already torn
It was the best of times, it was the worst of crimes
I'm not running anymore

I've got the devil off my back
I've got two more on my shoulders
They'll try to paint my vision black
They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older
And I can deal with things like that

Breathing in your second-hand sin
You take the head-rush, I'll get the cancer
Draw it slow and hold it in
I won't be your easy answer
It was the best of times, it was the worst of crimes
We've been over this before

I've got the devil off my back
I've got two more on my shoulders
They'll try to paint my vision black
They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older
And I can deal with things like that

One day the world just fell apart
With stuttered songs of broken hearts
There wasn't time to make a choice
I heard the words but not the voice
There wasn't time to make a choice

I've got the devil off my back
I've got two more on my shoulders
They'll try to paint my vision black
They'll have to wait 'til I'm a little bit older
And I can deal with things like that
