lyrics

How you like your blue eyed boy, Mr. Death?
When his legs are spread and he's out of breath
After a long hard life of being handsome?
He used to dance for you in spite of you
How you like your brown eyed boy, Mr. Death?
When he’s on bruised knees and he's crying sweat
After a long hard life of being ransomed?
He used to sing for you in spite of you

Will you guide him to the gates of hell
With soothing words, say all is well
Then leave him on his own on a lonely yellow road?
Will you guide him to a paradise
Where the waters clear, the weathers nice
Then watch upon the wall
While the waves swallow him whole?

Us sinners will take care of him
While you slink on away
We’ll treat him like a favorite son
Though we know all the wrongs he’s done
While you go find another one,
We’ll love him anyway

How you like your green eyed game, Mr. Death?
When they’re wanting love that they’ll never get?
They spent their whole lives chasing satisfaction
You made them run from you to run to you
How you like our blood and bones, Mr. death?
Have our bodies met your measures yet?
If we're damned to live under your shadows
Joy is rebellion we'll find comfort in
