I was drinking with obscurity The small talk of the town Yes, she is the silent type But she'll buy you the next round Say the word, say the word So I'll no longer be No longer bound Your friendship was my guard No longer bound The chains are falling off Revenge is not a tongue I speak 'Cos the tenses are easily confused
I've seen the devil once or twice And he did not look like you I laid down next to you Asleep in the dark Enter in the Spirit of the Lord And I saw how I broke your heart There are songs of self-pity There are songs of the forsaken If this struck your ears that way, my friend You're sadly mistaken
