Intro

,,, X4

All the kids have run inside grabbed a spot under the stairs

 they've barricaded all the windows and rigged the doorknobs shut with chairs

 what are they waiting for they don't know

they just keep their fingers crossed and maybe

 pray to mary or jesus christ

I can hear them knocking down the door

the wait it is over this bottle is done

so we clench our fists and fight our demons

,,, X2

there's a girl with a flower pot full of dirt and bullet shells

 she puts it by her window gives it sunlight restores its health

 after a month or two the shells start to grow into branches of barbed wire

 they spread across the walls the windows and the floors

 and their grip never tires

the wait it is over this bottle is done

so we clench our fists and fight our demons

 lay low lay low keep your head down lay low lay low listen for the sound

 of the dusty train that's comin' to sweep us all away

 I can hear the rails a rattlin' against the hectic fray so

set the bone with a cardboard split

and strike the nail against the flint

and set the fields on fire

let the devil come let him come

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I am stronger now and I can fight it

I'll be waitin' at the end of the line (..I'll be wai..)

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I am stronger now and I can fight it

I'll be waitin' at the end of the line

 at the -n- of the line. at the -n-, at the -n-, at the -n-.
