The Corner - Smoking Popes

I’ve made nothing but mistakes

In my life up 'til now

I was hoping that the golden bird

Would pull me out somehow

And if I could turn back the time

That dragged us to your door

I would un-live every minute one by one

'til the killing came undone

'til the killing came undone

Now your picture is forever

Burned into my head

But I wish that it was me there

Lying motionless instead

And if there was a way that I could

Unspill all that blood

I would put every drop back in you

One by one 'til the killing came undone

'til the killing came undone

Close your eyes and you will see

The morning star, I won’t follow where you are

I am destined for the corner

And the darkness beyond

And the darkness beyond

Well I knew what I was doing

But I knew not why

I suppose I must have hated someone

Else from days gone by

And if I had another chance to live through that dark night

I would un-shoot every bullet one by one

'til the killing came undone

'til the killing came undone

I’m ashamed of what I’ve done but I must face it now

And the life that I have taken

I know nothing can replace it now

But if I had a thousand of my own lives to lay down

I would lay them all down for you one by one

'til the killing came undone

'til the killing came undone
