Hang me up on your wall, above the coal fire Keep your promises, keep your promises Hang me up on your wall You're such a cold liar, do what your father says What your father says I still remember your voice, it turns my blood cold The kids are fast asleep, keep them fast asleep Your soul still haunts these walls, like taxidermy There's no kiss of life's, no baby don't pretend With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head You can burn the money in the fireplace You keep on telling white lies to the little kids I think it's time they knew just what it means to live You can burn your parents in the fireplace
I saw you run from the cold, out of my arms Your mother cried for years, she cried for years I saw you run through the cold, put ice in my heart Now tell me all your fears, I'll be your greatest fear You couldn't cut the smile from my face Cause we're so proud today, we're so proud today Our eyes will haunt these walls, like taxidermy There's no kiss of life's, no baby don't pretend With your heart in your throat and a gun to your head You can burn the money in the fireplace You keep on telling white lies to the little kids I think it's time they knew just what it means to live Now burn your parents in the fireplace
