Never Coming Home (Song for the Guilty)
The trains roll by my porchDown here where nothing can liveAnd I've been smoking too much Because I am no exceptionYou knew that already, I think If you want salvationThen you ought to go see a priest'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt In this world never was guaranteedI'm coming home, it's late againI'm high as I've ever beenYou're sitting up, you're in our bed Crying for a ghost againNo room could be as dark Or as empty as ours is'Cause I'm at home but I'm not hereAnd I never amI wonder how many friends Roll past my house in the night? In boxcars they sleep With hearts stashed in their backpacksThey'll make California all rightA promise from me Is just a lie I ain't told yet So I'm ready to die But I'm not willing to watch SongtexteYou watch me die here in our bed I'm lying down, I've been nodding out Since I don't know whenThe lights are on, you're standing up Screaming at a ghost again Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left This house of ours in daysBut I'm not here; I never amSo I just can't stayMy darling, I'm never coming back From where I'm going My darling, I'm never coming home My darling, I'm never coming back From where I'm goingMy darling, I'm never coming homeNever coming home again Aus Songtexte Mania
