Lyrics

There's a lantern by the bed
Red and glowing like a match
Burn it down 'til your finger tips
Will just throw it for the cash
I'm all talk and nicotine
I'm a man on a movie screen
Selling love like it's some fashion magazine
Past the bridges in this place
Where we used to hide away
There's a darkness I cannot erase
And there's blood on the dance floor
And all the people on their knees
Singing, "Justice for all"
Is it really what they thought it'd be?
Now we count down felt to one
And your fingers form the gun
Mold in time, I point it out
But you don't wanna hurt no one
I'm all glass and broken nails
A blindfolded man holding up the scales
See no evil don't mean that it's not all for sale
Past the bridges in this place
Where we used to hide away
There's a darkness I cannot erase
And there's blood on the dance floor
And all the people on their knees
Singing, "Justice for all"
Is it really what they thought it'd be?
Giving in, not giving out
I can't bring myself to shout
But I would rather live in sin
Than live without
Past the bridges in this place
Where we used to hide away
There's a darkness I cannot erase
And there's blood on the dance floor
And all the people on their knees
Singing, "Justice for all"
Is it really what they thought it'd be?
