Nightstand

Had this fear of falling down the stairs Since my father caught me in midair When i was a baby, i was a baby, yeah When the devil's with me i must say He almost always gets his way Since i was a baby, i was a baby, yeah I was born with the cord wrapped around my neck It's not something i could ever forget The world's been trying to take me out Since the day i first arrived There's a darkness reaching for my hand I keep a gun in my nightstand Waiting for music to bury a body by Just like clockwork he appears A lonesome soul with the ringing ears But i'm not his baby, i'm not his baby, no But the tale of Venus sways his mind He falls into my trap right on time Cuz he's not a baby, he's not a baby, no He was born with the shadows on his mind Searchin for something he could never define The world's been trying to drag him down Since the day he first arrived There's a darkness reaching for my hand I take the gun from my nightstand Dancin to music to bury a body by The devil's on my back again Looking out at all those sad young men Who won't be my baby, won't be my baby, no But before i show him what he's won I better tell him every little thing i've done Since i was a baby, i was a baby, yeah I was born with the cord wrapped around my neck It's not something i could ever forget The world's been trying to take me out Since the day i first arrived There's a darkness reaching for my hand There's a gun in my nightstand Waiting for music to bury a body by Waiting for music to bury a body by Music to bury a body by
