The Walkabouts - Forgiveness Song lyrics

Bang out the night song On an old kettle drum Don't ask for no ransom Ain't payin you none Ground to a halt With suspicion for all You say "watch me fly" I suppose that you're gone But i don't care to look Don't give me the truth Give me shackles Bang out the night song From deep in my chest Are you listening? But last night (oh last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night, you were forgiveness And last night (oh last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night you were the end Walked to the dawn Along rnisery's mile Stopped under a streetlight And burned off my smile Trust was your mirror And trust was your fool Are you listenin' And now that i'm gone Give the tears to your friends I'll take what i'm due Then i'll strangle Bang out the night song You can beat it to d**h You can watch me fly But last night (oh last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night, you were forgiveness And last night (oh last night) Late last night (late last night) Last night you were the end Raisin' my spirits My head on the floor Turned around fast Walkin' back to your door This run of bad luck Stuck like sleep in yer eyes Couldn't see a thing But last night, late last night Last night, you were forgiveness Oh last night, late last night Last night you were the end I'm comin' back to ya No religion to sell Bang out the night song Ain't stuck in this hell Oh last night Late last night Last night you were forgivin
