I remember when I saw the sea freeze

But it said nothing about the birds and the bees

They were swarming around my head

You'll be better off dead

But I ain't going down like that

I ain't going down like that

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been

You know where god I'm bound

And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin?

If that is the truth, then the truth is grim

Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale

Your father has died while he's gripped for bail

He points to the west and he leaves out the rest

And wants you to be his special guest

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I remember when I saw the leaves fall

I was in the woods, in a gown you wouldn't wear to the ball

Into the ditch I fly

Wanted dead or alive

But I ain't going down like that

No, I ain't going down like that

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been

You know where god I'm bound

And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin?

If that is the truth, then the truth is grim

Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale

Your father has died while he's gripped for bail

He points to the west and he leaves out the rest

And wants you to be his special guest

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

High, high, high, high

High, high, high, high

'Cause I'm better than him and I know where I've been

You know where god I'm bound

And I'm higher to sin, but don't we all sin?

If that is the truth, then the truth is grim

And stop!
