(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan) Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe fall down onto your knees into the dirt I'm tired to the mast, between water and wind Believe me you'll never get hurt Now the ring's into the pawn sh** The rains into the hole Down at the fire points I stand I'll lose everything But I never let go of your hand Now Peter denied and Judas betrayed I'll pay with the roll of the drum And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel And the watch man's making his rounds Well you leave one hanging by the skin of my teeth I've only got one leg to stand You can send me to hell But won't let go of your hand Swing from the rope onto a cross legged dream Signed with the one-eyed jack's blood From Temple and Union to Weyley and Grand walking back home into the mud now I must make my best of the only way home Marley deals only in stones I'm lost onto the mid way I'm reckless into your eyes Just give me a couple more throughs I'll dare you to dine with the cross legged knights gimme to jump and I will I'll fall from your grace But I'll never let go of your hand I'll never let go of your hand
