I'm gonna fight them off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette
And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone
Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you
And if that ain't what you wanted to hear but that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding right before the lord
All my words are gonna bleed from me and I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood tell me "Go back home"
Yeah, back home
