Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You could change your way
Livin' long enough to stay
But you're leavin' when the day breaks
Your provin' ground is strange
Your provin' ground is strange
[Verse 2]
No pain, no need to blink
You say it's better when you don't think
You like to live on the dark side
You like to live on the dark side
[Verse 3]
A reflection of one
A lifetime with nothin' to hide
Just don't ask what you do for a livin'
No one here says what they mean
No one here says what they mean
[Verse 4]
She always takes it easy
Never thinks twice
Behind the scenes
Is where you are
[Verse 5]
A cemetery savior
Blown down from northern skies
Did time on the asphalt prairie
She's a cemetery savior
[Verse 6]
Cemetery savior
A cemetery savior
