The girls bow down on their knees for you.
And that’s something I’ll just never do.
Anymore Anymore.
I had no clue you were a prophet
No one told me and they never taught that
In church In church
I’ll bang my head on the concrete.
Wondering how I could ever believe
In you In you
First you went and sailed my ship
Then got high off on your power trip
It’s true It’s true.
First you get me real high. Then make a mess out of my life.
Just like China white just like China white.
Make all the girls your acolytes. You’re everybody’s man after midnight.
Mr. China White Mr China White.
Got em hooked into your twilight. But you’re no good you know you ain’t right.
Just like China White, Mr. China White.
You promise you’ll make it better
but you, you only ever make
it worse. it worse.
Well they call me the princess of sorrow
But you sir you’re just some hollow
king of whores, of whores.
And when you finally meet your day
I know that in the fires flame
You’ll be immersed immersed
Well if I ever load my gun
You know damn well you better run
Cus I’ll get you first you first
First you get me real high. Then make a mess out of my life.
Just like China white just like China white.
Make all the girls your acolytes. You’re everybody’s man after midnight.
Mr. China White, Mr China White.
Got em hooked into your twilight. But you’re no good you know you ain’t right.
Just like China White, Mr. China White.
What’s in it for you?
What did i do
Open the casket
Watch all the girls turn blue
Trust in him trust nothing
My lover the devils groomsman
You are China white
Just like China white
You are China white
Mr. China white
You are.

My body aches all over and these days I’m hardly sober.
But baby remain by me
Well it’s warm under your covers and damn you’re such a darling lover.
So don’t ever leave
I said things I surely didn’t mean but that’s just the darker side of me.
Come on babe give me an easy day.
I like to watch you sleep I like to watch you breathe.
Come over and take away my pain.
Chorus:
Cus I don’t need the sunlight, to burn and scorch my skin.
Cus if I’m looking for a beacon then darling you’re surely it.
But I’ll take to the moonlight if it’ll let me in.
Cast out into the night time to hide my shame and sin.
Don’t raise your voice at me, oh let’s not make a scene
Now don’t you act that way.
What did that other girl say? Let’s not play the lying game.
Cus you know I’ll win anyday.
You’re a king so wear your crown just put that bottle down.
And be a man of the words you say.
At your best it don’t get better it all depends on the weather.
So maybe you should lead the way.
Chorus:
Cus I don’t need the sunlight, to burn and scorch my skin.
Cus if I’m looking for a beacon then darling you’re surely it.
But I’ll take to the moonlight if it’ll let me in.
Cast out into the night time to hide my shame and sin.
I’ll always put aside the bad things you do I’ll only ever see the best in you
Just slow down for awhile.
The dark days I’ll soon forget you’re always be my favorite.
Except when you get to wild.
You move fast but you love real slow but the places you’ve been and the things you know.
Tell me stories of you as a child.
I feel I’ve known you my whole life even when you’re wrong you’re always right.
Stay with me for a while.
Chorus:
Cus I don’t need the sunlight, to burn and scorch my skin.
Cus if I’m looking for a beacon then darling you’re surely it.
But I’ll take to the moonlight if it’ll let me in.
Cast out into the night time to hide my shame and sin.

I swear I’ll get sick if you leave me down and out like this.
I swear that I’ll get ill if you leave me lone the way I feel.
Cus I’ve been thinking and I let the teeth sink in.
She said it’s too early for drinking but I don’t care I’m still leaving.
Cus I know that you know better.
And I know you slept with heather.
I know it cus ol’ Jimmy told it.
Looks like you’re going for the kill, I wish you would I hope you will.
Grab the bottle and pop the seal I already know the drill.
Cus I only ever suffer lately life has dragged me under.
And I will always love her I just don’t like her thunder.
Cus I know that you know better.
And I know you slept with heather.
I know it cus ol’ Jimmy told it.
Freedom found freedom flee don’t be waiting up for me.
But my head down fell asleep but I didn’t have a single dream.
Not for you but for me better day will be reached.
Cus I don’t feel sad, of mad, or happy I just feel nothing.
And I know that you know better.
And I know you slept with heather.
I know it cus ol’ Jimmy told it.
Yeah lie to me
Yeah bite me with your teeth
Oh lie to me please
Bite me with your
Your teeth
Lie to me
Bite me with your teeth
Lie to me x4
I know his name I know he’s real I get down on my knees and neal.
I can’t express it but I can feel my faith will soon be revealed.
Dragged myself down to the ground but I’m getting better now.
On the floor guess what i found the rope that once had me bound.
Cus I know that you know better.
And I know you slept with heather.
I know it cus ol’ Jimmy told it.

Hey! Won’t you do the hula hoop with me?
Hey! I need the love of another human being.
And I! Believe you’ve got something for me.
Hey I! I need the love of another human being.
Chorus:
Won’t you meet me by the mountain side
Something new like a lovers hand to hold you know.
Won’t you please mate with me we could be…
Anything you like, I like, you like, I like, you like I like you.
Hey! Shouldn’t it be just you and I just you and me.
Cus I believe you ain’t got a better place to be.
You’ve got me imprisoned but I’ve never felt so free.
Your hands are dirty but you always make me feel so clean.
Chorus:
Won’t you meet me by the mountain side
Something new like a lovers hand to hold you know.
Won’t you please mate with me we could be…
Anything you like, I like, you like, i like you like I like you.
I don’t need a shoulder for me to lean.
But I, I need the love of another human being.
So don’t you leave or else you’ll awaken my suffering.
Cus I’m at peace every time our red eyes meet.
Chorus:
Won’t you meet me by the mountain side.
Something new like a lovers hand to hold you know.
Won’t you please mate with me we could be...
Anything you like, I like, you like, i like you like I like you.

You’re at a bar on 8th and parker
All alone except for johnny walker
And isn’t he quite the smooth talker
Planting seeds inside your head
When you’re falling down he starts to meddle
Well isn’t he a silver tongue devil
This feeling is far to primaeval
Kind of reminds you of your old man
Pre Chorus:
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your fate was already predisposed
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your story he already wrote
Chorus
The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnnie got your head against a gun
Now you’re at a club on 5th and abilene
And you can clearly feel it’s not your scene
So out into the dark you leave.
You ended up alone just like he said
You stop by the liq to pick up a friend
Now Johnnie walker is waltzing in
Promises your pain will be put to an end
There’s no more loneliness to dread
Pre Chorus:
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your fate was already predisposed
You didn’t ask for this i know
Your story he already wrote
Chorus
The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnny got your head against a gun
You’re at your flat in downtown
Just like always no ones around
But johnnie is present when it count
It fair to say he’s finally got his way
The hangman’s noose looks appealing
And you’ve got sucked into a daydream
And you believe all that he’s saying
And now the dawn attacks the day
Chorus
The sins of the father follow the daughter
And he’s the seventh son of a seventh son
Freudian theories all odds against thee
Johnnie has got your head against a gun
Feeling emptier than that bottle of scotch whiskey
And this is the song to be sung
outro:
Don’t we all need a vice
Beat him with a stone stab him with a knife
Doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or if it’s right
When you lost the will to live your life
