Misery is a mistress
And she keeps me company
Under the dirty sun
Soakin' up my old love
You're confident and clean
Your conscience and esteem
But not me
I'm filthy and afraid of everything
Dirty sun's gonna shine down on me
Heaven is a place
Where I can ease my body and mind
Too many times i have wondered why
My peace is traded away for wine that's lost the taste
And maybe, just maybe I could be what I am not
Maybe this is true love
This is the sound of defeat
This is the sound of defeat
Confident and clean
Your conscience and esteem
But not me
I'm filthy and afraid of everything
And the sun's gonna shine down on me
Let it shine down
Let it shine down
Let it shine down
