I Never Told You What I Did for a Living

Stay out of the light
Or the photograph that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and Ill grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and Ill see you
Another night and Ill 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
Im 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 Id live this every day
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
Im so dirty babe
It aint the money and it sure as hell aint just for the fame
Its for the bodies I claim and lose
Only go so far til you bury them
So deep and down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down
I tried
And well all dance alone to the tune of your death
Well love again, well laugh again
And its better off this way
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And were all dead now
Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And were all dead now
I tried
One more night
Well Im laughin out, cryin out, laughin out loud
I tried, well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
I lied
And well love again, and well laugh again
Well cry again, and well dance again
And its better off this way, so much better off this way
I cant clean the blood off the sheets in my bed
And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And were all dead now
