[Verse 1]
The boy lit a match to start a fire
In the heart of the one that he desired, oh
And waited for the world to come to see
[Verse 2]
Sung from the side of a dirty smile
Couldn't keep it quiet for half that time, oh
Drifter count the coins to pay
Life was never meant this way, oh!
[Chorus]
(Open up the door and let us in)
I only got so far left to go
(Every night the voices tell you this)
It's not about the fortune of the bold
And that lie's getting old
[Verse 3]
Run from the light that's in her eye
Stick it in the heart of every night, oh
Drifter count the coins to pay
In severance you go your way
As I step upon the road to take us down
[Chorus]
(Open up the door and let us in)
I've only got so far left to go
(Every night the voices tell you this)
As I call upon them all to take you home
Where you'll never have to leave, believe me now
[Bridge/Outro]
The Richter slipped her half a pill
Said, darling, you are ill
Oh I could take the pain away
In one of seven ways:
The first will hurt, the second worse
And three to six aren't named
The seventh lies between your legs
And I will do the same
