Street Of Shame Lyrics - Singles - Foetus

I like to stay in holy places 

I'm happiest on consecrated ground 

I worship the earth I walk upon 

I seldom eat anything but sacred cow 

I work in the church of my soul 

My head holds a temple and a thorny crown 

I am pure of heart but salvation ain't enough 

I am destined to live on this street of shame 

I'm on a death knell, in a heavenly hell 

Yeah, I know, they got me again 

Nailed me to a crucifix, whipped my chest 

Gambled for my rags, smoked my fags 

Carved up my back, hack, hack, hack 

Carved up my back, hack, hack, hack 

Carved up my back, hack, hack, hack 

Hammered a screwdriver into my ear to my brain 

I'm watching my life swirl down the drain 

And I feel about as Abel as Cain but I guess that 

That's the price of fame when you're destined 

To live on a street of shame 

I can't shut off my ears to that infernal internal refrain 

You are destined to live, destined to live on the street of shame 

I can't shut off my ears to that infernal internal refrain 

You are destined, destined to live on the street of shame 

I'm an angel who's had his wings clipped 

An angel in devil's boots 

(An angel in devil's boots) 

Sling back pumps for a cloven hoof 

Someone's tied tin cans to my tail 

Someone's always driving in one last nail 

I'm using my halo as a life preserver 

But it's sprung a leak, this is holy murder
