Ain't it so easy to love me baby mmhmm
Ain't it so easy to love me baby mmhmm
Ain't it so easy to love me baby mmhmm
I didn't mean to hurt you but I hurt you anyway babe
I wanted bad to love ya' but I pushed you away babe
I tried to take you somewhere but I led you astray babe

A Great Pretender (Alt)
03:47
|
|||
Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender
Smoke my last cigarette blow the smoke out the door
Got a fight with the world, and I'm back, I'm back for more
Breathe my last good breathe placing final bets
The world is but a rag, to wipe up your regrets
When you dance with the devil, you're gonna' do it on four limbs
When you stand in the revel, you can hear the howling winds
If you're lost in the waiting, you can boil in the pot
Take a spoon for the tasting, eat around the rot
Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender
Drink my last good drink think through the glass
Gives me time to think and for these anxious feelings to pass
Die my last good death, blow ashes to the path
When there's nothing left, it's a desperate grasp
When you dance with the devil, you're gonna' do it on four limbs
When you stand in the revel, you can hear the howling winds
If you're lost in the waiting, you can boil in the pot
Take a spoon for the tasting, eat around the rot
Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender

Killer's Song (Alt)
05:43
|
|||
Step forth, forget my name
Step down, to lay a claim
To die now ain't the American way
So let that crooked smile stay
Breathe life, into these hands
Concede to these demands
Stick 'em up into the sky
Let the steel song scrape you dry
Forget my brain and ride away
Forgive these hands, forget the days
Forget my brain and ride away
Forgive these hands, forget the days
I've been driving oh so long
To spring life to a dying song
To end up at the fireside
To stoke the flames with sodden pride
Breathe life, into these hands
Concede to these demands
Stick 'em up into the sky
Let the steel song scrape you dry
Forget my brain and ride away
Forgive these hands, forget the days
Forget my brain and ride away
Forgive these hands, forget the days

The Rats
04:26

The rats chase the people away
They came up from the ground
You can see 'em skitter and sway
Move along to the sound
The rats started spreading a plague
They fed on the mound
You can hear the skeletons play
A hollow jig for the town
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down
The rats will dance on your grave
and turn 'round your frown
They mark the bodies with stakes
But they all fall down

House Of The Rising Sun
06:41
|
|||
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
