《Play Me Backwards》歌词

[00:00:11] You don't have to play me backwards

[00:00:13] To get the meaning of my verse

[00:00:15] You don't have to die and go to hell

[00:00:18] To feel the devil's curse

[00:00:30] Well I thought my life was a photograph

[00:00:32] On the family Christmas card

[00:00:35] Kids all dressed in buttons and bows

[00:00:37] And lined up in the yard

[00:00:40] Were the golden days of childhood

[00:00:42] So lyrical and warm

[00:00:45] Or did the picture start to fade

[00:00:49] On the day that I was born

[00:00:52] I've seen them light the candles

[00:00:57] I've heard them bang the drum

[00:01:02] And I've cried Mama I'm cold as ice

[00:01:08] And I got no place to run

[00:01:19] Let the night begin there's a pop of skin

[00:01:22] And the sudden rush of scarlet

[00:01:24] There's a little boy riding on a goat's head

[00:01:26] And a little girl playing the harlot

[00:01:29] There's a sacrifice in an empty church

[00:01:31] Of sweet li'l baby Rose

[00:01:34] And a man in a mask from Mexico

[00:01:38] Is peeling off my clothes

[00:01:41] I've seen them light the candles

[00:01:46] I've heard them bang the drum

[00:01:51] And I've cried Mama I'm cold as ice

[00:01:57] And I got no place to run

[00:02:27] So I'm paying for protection

[00:02:30] Smoking out the truth

[00:02:33] Chasing recollections

[00:02:35] Nailing down the proof

[00:02:42] You don't have to play me backwards

[00:02:44] To get the meaning of my verse

[00:02:47] You don't have to die and go to hell

[00:02:49] To feel the devil's curse

[00:02:51] I'll stand before your altar

[00:02:54] And tell everything I know

[00:02:56] I've come to claim my childhood

[00:03:01] At the chapel of baby Rose

[00:03:07] I've seen them light the candles

[00:03:11] I've heard them bang the drum

[00:03:16] I've seen them light the candles

[00:03:21] I've heard them bang the drum
