Inrihab Lyrics - The Big Dirty - Every Time I Die

I tied the devil to the tracks 

(Can you hear the train coming?) 

I served him papers with a seal from the governor 

The spoiler throwing voices 

The vapors that they built this city on 

But he don't write much for me anymore 

When we keep hell in our hearts 

We make no excuse for our genius 

So what's my excuse now that hell has abandoned me? 

I enticed the devil out with a bottle 

But maybe it was he who lured me out instead 

When we slept in penitent beds 

We awoke in the loving arms of attrition 

So what's my excuse now that hell isn't courting me?

Give me the strength to be widowed 

Now that the honeymoon's over 

Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors 

Condemned with you all 

Goddamn you all 

Condemned with you all 

Goddamn you all 

I marched across the muddied stream 

Illuminated from beneath 

And the lock was picked with the church's key 

We found on the belt of the veteran 

And to open bar tabs in the taverns 

Assembled in levels by the damned and fanatic for me 

We never loved ourselves so well 

As when we lusted after another 

We hummed along to electric guitars 

And the standard, whoa oh oh oh's 

And we drank each other under the covers 

Photos 

I eased the devil back with the throttle 

'Cause I'd rather live my life in regret than not take part in it 

Ooh, if the devil don't mind, well it's alright with me 

So what do I do when the devil don't notice me? 

Give me the strength to be widowed 

Now that the honeymoon's over 

Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors 

Condemned with you all 

Goddamn you all 

Condemned with you all 

Goddamn you all 

And in my 27th year 

I was dragged kicking and screaming into light 

And I looked at God in the face and I said 

I said, God, I said, I said [Incomprehensible] 

I tied the devil to the tracks 

Can you hear the train coming? 

And I tied the tracks in a lover's knot 

Around the finger of a beautiful girl 

I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell 

I'll keep hell if hell will have me 

I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell 

I'll keep hell if hell will have me
