Intro

,,, X4

All the kids have run inside grabbed a spot under the stairs

they've barricaded all the windows and rigged the doorknobs shut with chairs

what are they waiting for they don't know

they just keep their fingers crossed and maybe

pray to mary or jesus christ

I can hear them knocking down the door

the wait it is over this bottle is done

so we clench our fists and fight our demons

,,, X2

there's a girl with a flower pot full of dirt and bullet shells

she puts it by her window gives it sunlight restores its health

after a month or two the shells start to grow into branches of barbed wire

they spread across the walls the windows and the floors

and their grip never tires

the wait it is over this bottle is done

so we clench our fists and fight our demons

lay low lay low keep your head down lay low lay low listen for the sound

of the dusty train that's comin' to sweep us all away

I can hear the rails a rattlin' against the hectic fray so

set the bone with a cardboard split

and strike the nail against the flint

and set the fields on fire

let the devil come let him come

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I am stronger now and I can fight it

I'll be waitin' at the end of the line (..I'll be wai..)

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I'll be waitin' for him this time

I am stronger now and I can fight it

I'll be waitin' at the end of the line

at the -n- of the line. at the -n-, at the -n-, at the -n-.
