Imagine yourself on a mountain
Mountain discovered with flowers
Flowers discolored with horses
Horses distracted by stones
Stone distrusted with me
Then you might know what I mean
G F#
'Cause I want to kick love right in its gut
G F#
Beat it and leave for dead
G F#
Wash my hands in the river
G F# Em
Lie down and die in your bed
(repeat 1st verse)
G F#
The voice on the receiver
G F#
Baby cry howlin' in the wind
G F#
I don't wanna beg for your mercy
G F# Em
I wanna know right know, what sin
Tell me what sin replaces love
I wanna know, right now
