Honesty won't inoculate you from lies
And watering stumps, prayin' something will grow, but you know that it won't
And you, callin' on angels, and you workin' all the angles
But ain't you heard, they don't help out ungratefuls
They know the deal

How many ways did they swear it be alright
How many eyes do we have left to deceive
I rather bleed myself out than let them

Burn me up up
Up up

You never live it down

How many smiles do you count we have left to wear
How many ways did they swear it be alright
How many eyes do we have left to deceive
I rather bleed myself out than let them

Burn me up

Burn me up up
Up up
Up up
Up up
Up up
Up up
Up up
Up up
Up up

How many smiles do you count we have left to wear
How many ways did they swear it be alright
How many eyes do we have left to deceive
I rather bleed myself out than

And when the wings fell, you had to make the way by foot
Under a bad sign, it was a bad sign
When the night falls, you bend and fold
Until morning calls you, pray it'll show you the way home

When the wings fell, you had to make the way by foot
Under a bad sign, it was a bad sign
When the night falls, you bend and fold
Until morning calls you, pray it'll show you the way home
