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 coming from my eye
Says leave it alone
Don't want to 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 ya coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feelin' coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Witchita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding,
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stings coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
I'm gonna fight 'em 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 coming from my eye Says leave it alone Don't want to 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 ya coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feelin' coming from my bones Says find a home I'm going to Witchita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, Right before the Lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will sing no more And the stings coming from my blood Tell me go back home Explain Request ×
