| I cannot spend another night in this home
|
| I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
|
| The consequence is if I leave I’m alone
|
| But what’s the difference when you beg for love?
|
| As I run through glass in the street
|
| Kerosene hearts carry the name that my father gave me
|
| And take the face of the wolf
|
| 'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| With heaven above you, there’s hell over me
|
| I met a girl who never looked so alone
|
| Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm
|
| She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
|
| We fell in love and now we’re both alone
|
| 'Cause I don’t need any more friends
|
| And another kiss like a fire on pavement
|
| We’ll burn it down till the end
|
| Oh, oh
|
| This is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| With heaven above you, there’s hell over me
|
| The water is rusted, the air is unclean.
|
| And there for a second I feel free
|
| This is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| I’ve waited all this night to honor you and say,
|
| «I know it’s hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me?»
|
| This is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| With heaven above you, there’s hell over me
|
| 'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| With heaven above you, there’s hell over me
|
| You said what about us, well, what about me?
|
| Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain
|
| 'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
|
| Paralyze me
|
| Don’t let me jump, don’t let me fall |
