Steady woman, won't you come on down

I need you right here on the ground

I've walked the outskirts of this town

Been terrified by what I’ve found

I saw a standing virgin bride

Where holy Dionysus died

She tore the heart from his side

And laid it there, and there she cried

oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

She said "Hello I'm a monster, too,

And what poisons me is what poisons you

Into these animals we grew

But when we were young our eyes were blue"

I take my medicine on my knee

twice a day, but lately three

it keeps the devil from my door

And it makes me rich, and it makes me poor

I'm a beggar in the morning

I'm a king at night

My belt is loose and my trigger is tight

I may come without warning

At the speed of light

Make it shine so pretty, make it shine so bright

I have come a long long way

To stand before you here today

They're yours alone the songs I play

To take with you to throw away

oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh I want an angel to wipe my tears

Know my dreams, my hopes, desires and fears

We may capsize but we wont drown

Hold each other as the sun goes down

I'm a beggar in the morning

I'm a king at night

My belt is loose and my trigger is tight

I may come without warning

At the speed of light

Make it shine so pretty, make it shine so bright
