Hear the sound, the angels come screaming

Down your voice, I hear you've been bleeding

Make your choice, they say you've been pleading

Someone save us

Heaven help us now

Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

As you're falling down

I'm at this old hotel but can't tell
If I've been breathing or sleeping
Or screaming or waiting for the man to call
And maybe all of the above

'Cause mostly I've been sprawled
On these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
Someone save us

Heaven help us now

Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

As you're falling down

And will you pray for me

Make them say your name

And will you lay for me

And make a saint of me?
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline

Wipe away those tears of blood again

And the punchline to the joke is asking
Someone save us

Heaven help us now

Come crashing down

We'll hear the sound

As you fall

And would you pray for me?

(You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know, so I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins)
(How the misery begins)
And make a saint of me?
(You don't know, 'cause I'm burning, I'm burning)
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
(I'm burning)
Cover me in gasoline again
(I'm burning again)
