Pretty Dirty - Every Time I Die

The great American mischief has muted our hearts

And our rhythms are met

With the inharmonious grunts of electric guitars

It’s all but too much

So nobody out there believes the obscene are reprieved

Everybody get fed up

My baby better get high cause

I’ve got something that I need to confess

The dead men talking are longing

For so much more than simply the obvious

Cut us off

We’re suffering, hysterical

Lighting the flare from the foot of her bed

I’ve been begging you for less mercy than this

But the only thing you need to know

Is that you never wanted to know

Take it off, take it back

Or take cover 'cause we’re nearing a nerve

Dead is wasted on the patient

So make haste and head for the wake

Now the hornets inhabit the hearts we’ve abandoned

We all are gone

Cast aside our clothes like funeral roses

And dance straight through the psalm

I was right all along

I’m dead, in the water

Don’t come for me

I was once alive in the desert’s eyes on the day it wed the sea

I drew a chalk outline of your city

I hushed the sobs in your halls

But we both know that it’s killer

Baby he will outrun 'em all

There is so much shame in how little we’ve gained for so long

Now the sky is falling

And you’re just repeating everything I say

And you’re not listening close enough

It’s a catastrophe

You have not been concentrating

Pay attention there will be an exam

Build an ark

Build an ark

Come bring us back to the ruin

Drifting out of our heads

Taped off the sky above your city

Dusted for prints on the chapel wall

But we all know that it’s killer

Baby I will outrun 'em all
