lyrics

Pile on the coals
Keep your eyes peeled, uncertainties before us
That wild something inside that tries to feel throughout the night
Until you know you'll take care what you become
Grease upon old Jacob's Ladder rungs
It's hard to hold, those calloused hands reach out for kingdom come
All idle devils split their bitter tongues

Bed of decadence
You lay me down in smooth indigo silks
You draw the line that caged me in
Roll up those sleeves let's see the dirt under those nails

So now you know you take care of what you become
Grease upon old Jacob's Ladder rung
It's hard to hold, those calloused hands reach out for kingdom come
All idle devils split their bitter tongues

And a light will come to shine
To show you nothing here was cast in black and white
So, hold on, it's a long way down
Hold your head, we spin 'round and 'round
