I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes
It says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones it says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forever more
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm pleading, and I'm pleading
And I'm pleading right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
