Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?

Do you believe in anything?

Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?

Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,

Cause we believe in everything.

If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,

so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now

with our God who we found laying under the back seat.

What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous broken thing.

You're a voice that never sings, that's what i say.

You are freezing over hell,

You are bringing on the end, you do so well

you can only blame yourself, that's what I say.

Oh, order your daughters to ignore me, think that will sort me?

and sweep me under the rug?

while you're beating with a book

everyone that book tells you to love.

There is an ember in the heart of this kiln

and it's burning hot with love.

Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust

then rolling me with care into your cigarette

cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.

What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous broken thing..

You're a voice that never sings, that's what i say.

You are freezing over hell,

You are bringing on the end, you do so well.

you can only blame yourself, that's what I say.

who do you carry that torch for my young man?

do you believe in anything?

do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?

What did you learn tonight?

You're shouting so loud, you barely joyous broken thing.

You're a voice that never sings, that's what i say.

You are freezing over hell,

You are bringing on the end, you do so well.

you can only blame yourself, that's what I say.

feels like we could escape, I don't mind throwing away the filthy silver song.

if you try running the maze of your lies it's too hard to save, if you've thrown out everyone.

you can only blame yourself, that's what i say.
