Dark Allies

Nail me to the cross in the darkest alley

I said, the Prince of Peace doesn't have to know about it

Say three Hail Marys, turn around, pray about it

C'mon, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley



Heartbeats through the dark that spread like a poison

And the tears ran hot like black tar of emotion

Inherit the earth where no words are spoken

And the sky like a veil was our wounds torn open



As she lies dying in a dark alleyway

Her lips, ruby red

And her eyes were morning green

But she whispered to me "Come closer, come closer"

And as I knelt down beside

With her dying breath, she said to me

"I'll wait for you, forever

And ever, and ever

And ever"



C'mon, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley

I said, the Prince of Peace doesn't have to know about it

Aw, say three Hail Marys, turn around, pray about it

Aw, come on, nail me to the cross in the darkest alley



Heroin(e)

She's my heroin(e)

She's my, she’s my heroin(e)

She's my heroin(e)



And I was crying Hail Mary

God, I scream Hail Mary

On my knees I cry Hail Mary

Oh Lord, I scream Hail Mary



On my knees I scream Hail

Mary



Hail Mary

Mary (3x)



Hail Mary

Marry me (3x)



Hail Mary

Marry me (11x)
