The Gutter

Over my dead body

These stars will let you know it's over

Now if I had my way

I would leave you here to waste your final days buried beneath

(With the possibility of how things could be)

Oh, please rest assured this was not my fault

And time is getting short so I'll be here if you want me

(Beaten and covered in a red so bloody)

Oh, my darling, can you hear?

My words so pure they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming and the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother

Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter

When you're in your bed

Sleeping toward the void so deep it feels like death

Oh, don't you wake, wake

Oh, my love, I hear life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here

Oh, don't you dare turn your back on me

(No use running when the bad guy's coming)

Oh, I think you got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh, I think you got me pegged

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming and the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother

Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter

We were better together but I know that much

Oh, can't you see?

Through the bad and the good we had all the luck

The Devil's got nothing on us, you and me

Oh, baby, over my dead body

Oh, baby, over my dead body

Oh, baby, over my dead body

We're still counting on you

We'll keep counting on you

Mother, come on out, show me what the world is all about

And we'll keep counting on you

Mother, come on out, show me what the world is all about

And we'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep fighting for you

We'll keep (We'll keep fighting)

Oh, I think you got me pegged as the wrong man

Oh, I think you got me pegged

And so the story goes

When I leave will you let me go?

When the words stop coming and the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers

It's your last chance, honey, better (Call your mother)

Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
