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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So lyrical and warm[00:00:42]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Smoking out the truth[00:02:30]

Chasing recollections[00:02:33]

Nailing down the proof[00:02:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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