Standard (EADGBE)

 I could break free from the

 Wood of a coffin

 If I need

 But nothin's hard as

 Gettin' free from places

I've already been

I've been waste-deep

 In the burnin' meadows

 Of my mind

 In the engine

 In cold December

 Shootin' fire from the hose

Now turn off your lights

 'Cause I'm not comin' home

 'Til I'm delivered for the first time

I was first-born to a parade

 That follows in rows

 Down a narrow cold black river

 Faceless shadows

 Movin' slow

I would move swift when

 The sounds of a trumpet would blow

 I've been the puppet

 I've been the strings

 I know the vacant face it brings

Now the bells of curfew

 They may ring before I'm through

But soon

I'll be delivered for the first time

You might keep clean

 In the back of an angel motorcade

 It doesn't matter who walks in

 You know, the joke is still the same

You'll just wake up

 Like a disposable lover

 Decomposed

 I've been gone

 I've been remembered

 I've been alive

 I've been the ghost

So now, if downtown explodes

 I'll still be on this road

 'Til I'm delivered for the first time

I have drawn blood

 From the neckline

 When vampires were in fashion

 You know I'd even learn

 To cut my throat

 If I thought I could fit in

'Cause I, I once heard

 That you gotta learn

 How to blend in to this mess

 Where nothin's hard

 Nothin's precious

 And nothin's smooth or flawless

Now, no more amused

 Just screaming to be delivered

 For the first time

Now I'm 10 miles in the deep

 And mighty blue sea

 Looking back, towards a long white beach

 Burnin' up into yellow flames

And I just wave back

 Like a little boy up on a pony

 In a show

 'Cause I can't fix

 Something this complex

 Any more than I can build a rose

So just keep on letting go

 'Cause I must be close

 To being delivered for the first time

Now I'd rather bleed out

 A long stream from being lonely

 And feel blessed

 Well than drown, laying face down

 In a puddle of respect

I was once lost

 In the corridors of the arena

 In blindfolds

 I've been the bull

 I've been the whip

 I just pulled down the matador

So now, turn on your lights

 'Cause I'm comin' home

 I've been delivered for the first time
