[Verse 1]

I light my wick in bondage

Laying in the pit I stay haunted

The perfect fix: the essence

Feel wax drip, momentary heaven

[Refrain 1]

I'm slipping through the cracks

So far down the rabbit hole

Another lantern comes crashing down

[Chorus]

Strike a match

Cover me with kerosene

Playing with fire

I become the effigy

(I become the effigy)

(I become the effigy)

[Verse 2]

Suspended animation

Secret acts of desecration

Recursive immolation

Auto-erotic decapitation

[Refrain 2]

Scratching my skin until I bleed

A tormenting itch that never leaves

Burn the temple down and I'll be free

[Chorus]

Strike a match

Cover me with kerosene

Playing with fire

I become the effigy

(I become the effigy)

(I become the effigy)

[Outro]

I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with me?

I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with me?

I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with m-m-m?

I can hear the Dev-De-De-De-Dev-Dev-

Why don't you run away wi- me?

I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with me?

I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with me?

Kaeps liveD eht raeh nac I

Why don't you run away with me?

I-I-I can hear the Devil speak

Why don't you run away with me?

I can hear the De-e-e-s-s-s-

Why don't you run away with me?

I can hear the Devil speak
