Standin' alone in the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death In time, and in vain I wash my hands of yesterday And if I should fall, if I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates Before the gates of hell Crawlin' alone in the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death Standin' alone in the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man When sun sets dusk and streets are cleared Well this town's renegade is near Out standing tall, awaiting host What's it like to see a ghost? Both outlaws equal, yes indeed One shot rhythm to the gunsling So long, my sweet (Bye, bye) Standin' alone through the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawling alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death He clenched his fists and said a prayer For every breath of dusty air He fires loud, waiting heroes What's it like to be a ghost? Both outlaws equal, yes indeed One shot rhythm to the gunsling So long my sweet I hear those voices shouting "Take my life" I cannot take mine lying down No Standin' alone in soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawling alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death In time (In time) In vain (In vain) I wash my hands of yesterday If I should fall (If I should fall) If I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates of hell Before the gates of hell Before the gates of hell I hear those voices shouting "Take my life" I cannot take mine lying down No Standin' alone through the soot and stone He draws from his holster, a man Crawlin' alone through the soot and stone He makes his way home half to death In time (In time) In vain (In vain) I wash my hands of yesterday If I should fall (If I should fall) If I should pass It's worth one last stand Before the gates of hell No

Alone at last we can sit and fight I've lost all faith in this blurring light But stay right here we can change our plight We're storming through this despite what's right One final fight For this tonight Whoa... With knives and pens we made our plight Lay your heart down the end's in sight Conscience begs for you to do what's right Everyday it's still the same dull knife Stab it through and justify your pride One final fight For this tonight Whoa... With knives and pens we made our plight And I can't go on without your love You lost, you never held on We tried our best Turn out the light Turn out the light One final fight For this tonight Whoa... With knives and pens we made our plight And I can't go on without your love You lost, you never held on We tried our best Turn out the light Turn out the light

I open my lungs dear I sing this song at funerals, no rush These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush A baby boy you've held so tightly This pain it visits almost nightly Missing hotel beds I feel your touch I will await dear, a patient of eternity, my crush A universal still, no rust No dust will ever grow on this frame One million years and I will say your name I love you more than I can ever scream We booked our flight those years ago I said I loved you as I left you Regrets still haunt my hollow head But I promised that I will see you again Again I sit here and smile dear I smile because I think of you and I blush These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss A fuss is made of miles and travels Roadways are but stones and gravel A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch We booked our flight those years ago You said you loved me as you left me Regrets still haunt your saddened head But I promised you that I will see you We booked our flight those years ago I said I loved you as I left you Regrets no longer in my head I promised you and now I'm home again Again, again, I'm home again Again, again, I'm home again

You kissed the lips of evil, two months it's all the same I begged for this man's approval, pray to die in vain Sit down with thoughts alone now, with blood these lyrics came Your words they eat right through me, death could hear my shame The tears we've cried, this love has died You're by yourself with me tonight It's what we hide, with every lie And stitch these wounds with me tonight I think of it each time I touch you, or every time I hear his name These walls will never crumble, here's our cause to blame Sit down with thoughts alone now, with blood these lyrics came Your words they eat right through me, death could hear my shame The tears we've cried, this love has died You're by yourself with me tonight It's what we hide, with every lie And stitch these wounds with me tonight Liar, Liar, Liar The tears we've cried, this love has died You're by yourself with me tonight It's what we hide, with every lie And stitch these wounds with me tonight The tears we've cried, this love has died You're by yourself with me tonight It's what we hide, with every lie And stitch these wounds with me tonight Liar, Liar, Liar say good bye
