[Verse 1]
Hear the sound, the angels come screaming
Down your voice, I hear you've been bleeding
Make your choice, they say you've been pleading
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you're falling down
[Verse 2]
And out this old hotel, but I can't tell if I've been breathing
Or sleeping, or screaming, or waiting for the man to call
And maybe all of the above, 'cause mostly, I've been
Sprawled on these cathedral steps, while spitting out the blood
And screaming, "Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you're falling down
[Post-Chorus]
And will you pray for me? Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me? Or make a saint of me?
[Bridge]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need, cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you fall
[Post-Chorus]
And will you pray for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know, so I'm burning
I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know, 'cause I'm burning
I'm burning)
[Outro]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
(I'm burning, I'm burning again...)
Hear the sound, the angels come screaming
Down your voice, I hear you've been bleeding
Make your choice, they say you've been pleading
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you're falling down
[Verse 2]
And out this old hotel, but I can't tell if I've been breathing
Or sleeping, or screaming, or waiting for the man to call
And maybe all of the above, 'cause mostly, I've been
Sprawled on these cathedral steps, while spitting out the blood
And screaming, "Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you're falling down
[Post-Chorus]
And will you pray for me? Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me? Or make a saint of me?
[Bridge]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need, cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
"Someone, save us!"
[Chorus]
Heaven, help us now, come crashing down
And hear the sound as you fall
[Post-Chorus]
And will you pray for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know, so I'm burning
I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know, 'cause I'm burning
I'm burning)
[Outro]
'Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
(I'm burning, I'm burning again...)
