 Well, they knew you were coming down

 On the darkness at the edge of town

 And they came to steal the lightning from the sky

 Yeah, the push might just come to shove

 And your love might not be enough

 To free you from the fears that paralyse

/5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul

Now they've come to claim you through the night

  The ghosts have come to steal the light outta your eyes

 But your mama and your wife

 Cuts your heart out with a knife

 And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones

 They made you cry the rain

 But they love you just the same

  /5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Before your God, and the devil, took your soul

 Tell me what did you bequeath

 To the girl with the freaky teeth

 Well, she shown you things she'd stolen from the queen

 She'll have your hearts desire

 As she danced back into the fire

 With the Holy Men who stole your tambourine

/5- Em4 /5- /5- Em4 /5-

Yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul

Now they've come to claim you through the night

  The ghosts have come to steal the light outta your eyes

 But your mama and your wife

 Cuts your heart out with a knife

 And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones

 They made you cry the rain

 But they love you just the same

Before your God, and the devil, took your soul
