I cannot spend another night in this home I close my eyes and take a breath real slow The consequence is if I leave I'm alone But what's the difference when you beg for love?
‘As I run through glass in the street Kerosine hearts Carry the name that my father gave me And take the face of the wolf
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you, there's hell over me
I met a girl who never looked so alone Like sugar water in your mouth lukewarm She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue We fell in love and now we're both alone
‘Cause I don't need any more friends And another kiss like a fire on pavement We'll burn it down 'till the end
Oh, oh This is a wasteland, my only retreat With heaven above you there's hell over me The water is rusted, the air is a unclean And there for a second I feel free This is a wasteland, my only retreat
I've waited all this night to honor you and say I know it's hard But who you are you to fall apart on me, on me
This is a wasteland my only retreat With heaven above you there's hell over me?
‘Cause this is a wasteland my only retreat With heaven above you there's hell over me You said "What about us" well, what about me? Hang from the gallows, asleep in the rain This is a wasteland my only retreat
