Intro

 Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe

Fall down on your knees in the dirt

I'm tied to the mast between water and wind

Believe me, you'll never get hurt

 Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole

I'll lose everything

 But I won't let go of your hand

 Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed

 I'll bail with the roll of the drum

 And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel

 And the watchman is making his rounds

 Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth

 I've only got one leg to stand

 You can send me to hell

 But I'll never let go of your hand

Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream

Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood

 From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand

Walking back home in the mud

 Now I must make my best of the only way home

Molly deals only in stone

 I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes

 Just give me a couple more throws

 I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight

Dare me to jump and I ---- will

 I'll fall from your grace

 But I'll never let go of your hand

 I'll never let go of your hand
