I know I shouldn’t go to hell
but I will if you let me
(I’ll) say bye to all that I know
(I’ll) give it up for you
If that’s what you want
I know, I know: I won’t be alone
there will be many others
there will be many more
So down a dead, dead road
with a dead, dead end
in the dead, dead cold
Is that what you want?
Terra-Bill left his wife,
broken inside
with a knife still in her
He told me he could
never love again
But, after all, what’s a tear or a ball
in the head when the floor’s leaning west
and your heart ain’t there
It’s rolling down a dead, dead road
with a dead, dead end
in the dead, dead cold
Is that what you want?
Grim-Jim left a
candle lit
He told me he were
only ten
But, all in all, when a candle
falls to the bed and the floor’s leaning west
and your hands ain’t there
It rolls down a dead, dead road
with a dead, dead end
at a decade old
Is that what you want?
God-Awful tossed in bed until he
pissed himself
He laughed for Old Time’s sake
and then he pulled his pistol
off of the shelf
I don’t mean to sound so mean,
but that gold bullet exploded his brain
into pieces so tiny and gray
that I could tell he’d been waiting,
praying,
praying for this day
Is that what you want?
I know I shouldn’t go to hell
but I will if you let me
(I’ll) say bye to all that I know
(I’ll) give it up for you
If that’s what you want
