I left my heart hanging
Like a piece of meat
Lured myself a vampire
And he took what he could from me
You know I had it good
I had it good
I came across another
Sordid, tortured man
He said he had a lover
Then he took me by the hand
You know it felt so good
It felt so good
Momma said
"Don't feed my fears
Why don't you stay up in this tower
With me dear?"
There's a side of me
I'm curious to show
Big brother ain't seen it either
I wonder if he knows
I don't mean no good?
I don't mean no damned good!
Knife and fork
Don't need a fire
I'll take my chances on a raw
Cold-blooded liar
After all this time
Could it have been wrong
To break more hearts than I have loved
And put it in a song?
It might not make it right
But I've been good for so long
Paint my life
In golden tears
And I'mma stay alive
For another million years
