Wicked Ways Lyrics - Version 2.0 - Garbage

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 

Acted like a lunatic for years 

Lord knows I try to be good 

I'd keep my promises if only I could 

You count your blessings that I can't rely on you 

[Chorus] 

And I tried [Repeat: x4] 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 

Pray to God for love and hope 

Bring the Virgin home for luck 

Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

I've done things I never thought I'd do 

Sure it helps to lose myself in you 

A little time and I'll be all right 

c'mon sugar let's go out tonight 

Forgive your trespasses 

And all that we've been through 

[Chorus: x2] 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 

Pray to God for love and hope 

Bring the Virgin home for luck 

Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

That sinking feeling 

When you are leaving 

All I believed in 

Walks out my door 

I tried hard to mend my wicked ways 

The damage's done, there's nothing left to save 

[Chorus] 

And I tried [Repeat: x3] 

Clutch your pictures of the Pope 

(just like I told you) 

Pray to God for love and hope 

(just like I warned you) 

Bring the Virgin home for luck 

(just like I told you) 

Bolt the door down, keep it shut 

(just like I warned you).
