Play Me Backwards歌词

[00:11.13]You don't have to play me backwards
[00:13.12]To get the meaning of my verse
[00:15.19]You don't have to die and go to hell
[00:18.05]To feel the devil's curse
[00:30.61]Well I thought my life was a photograph
[00:32.92]On the family Christmas card
[00:35.41]Kids all dressed in buttons and bows
[00:37.84]And lined up in the yard
[00:40.34]Were the golden days of childhood
[00:42.52]So lyrical and warm
[00:45.27]Or did the picture start to fade
[00:49.20]On the day that I was born
[00:52.88]I've seen them light the candles
[00:57.38]I've heard them bang the drum
[01:02.62]And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice!
[01:08.49]And I got no place to run
[01:19.71]Let the night begin there's a pop of skin
[01:22.15]And the sudden rush of scarlet
[01:23.59]
[01:24.61]There's a little boy riding on a goat's head
[01:26.98]And a little girl playing the harlot
[01:29.23]There's a sacrifice in an empty church
[01:31.74]Of sweet li'l baby Rose
[01:34.05]And a man in a mask from Mexico
[01:38.29]Is peeling off my clothes
[01:41.41]I've seen them light the candles
[01:46.65]I've heard them bang the drum
[01:51.77]And I've cried Mama, I'm cold as ice!
[01:57.45]And I got no place to run
[02:21.41]
[02:27.84]So I'm paying for protection
[02:30.46]Smoking out the truth
[02:33.02]Chasing recollections
[02:35.40]Nailing down the proof
[02:42.07]You don't have to play me backwards
[02:44.69]To get the meaning of my verse
[02:47.31]You don't have to die and go to hell
[02:49.68]To feel the devil's curse
[02:51.93]I'll stand before your altar
[02:54.37]And tell everything I know
[02:56.67]I've come to claim my childhood
[03:01.10]At the chapel of baby Rose
[03:07.29]I've seen them light the candles
[03:11.97]I've heard them bang the drum
[03:16.89]I've seen them light the candles
[03:21.70]I've heard them bang the drum
