Lyrics for Inferno
I’m Jesus Christ, I’m swinging In a gallery in France I’m the guillotine, I’m terrified There'll be no second chance And cowardice is prettiest in a nice dress From high command, I feel the need to confess In the morning, in the evening I keep trying, Lord, I’m trying In the morning, in the evening I keep trying, Lord, I’m trying But I’ve never known myself But then, I’ve never claimed to know I do this for my health Breathing the dust of an inferno I’m Joan of arc, I’m dying Just waiting for your call I’m watching The Real Housewives And crawling up the walls This heart of mine’s a glorified abscess In high demand, I feel the need to confess In the morning, in the evening I keep trying, Lord, I’m trying But I’ve never been myself But then, I’ve always seemed to know I’m drinking to your health Drinking the dust of an inferno I’ve never seen myself And I hope I never know I’m nothing but a shell Nothing but dust, in an inferno
