Pay no mind To the stranger in The 4 a.m He's not the one we know And he knows I slept through the war You waged with him For a little bit Until he cracked your bones And you had to let go So I make believe I've discovered peace But I'll skin the man alive And sell the meat I'll wait in the dirt Where he left you blood If he returns for it I can make it right for good Oh how I wish he would Lost you in overflowing fog That's been here awhile So I plan to keep watch As long as the wolves are out They're always around
And more violet than hell I have eyes of every color now And they're vigilant It doesn't matter who knocks You don't let them in There are terrible men I'm one so I should know Heaven smiles on me now and then But the devil always had hooks in All I want is his head And this horrible f**ing world Will be wonderful again There is so much beauty and love And when I eat his beating heart I can bring it back to us There's nothing that I couldn't do Except cover you When the slings and arrows came And I've never been the same.
