Charlie was a preacher he walked the streets, teaching love to the people he just happened to meet
He had a Bible under his arm
He captured the devil's charm
And now he's got some demons screening calls on his answer machine
And he's been dreaming bout how they been feasting on
The emptiness in his chest
While he's been reaching out
He's gettin desperate now
He's feelin heavy now
He's gotta find a way out
Before they put him in the ground
Now he bought a gun and he's never looking back again
They got him on the run now he's packing up his bags for good
He don't know, he don't know
That he's sprinting down the tracks toward the devil's hood
But he don't care, he don't care
And he never really could
Racing down the tracks toward the devil's hood
Hard to walk straight when you're wearing hooves
Bought em new in store, only cost his soul
What a deal, and it came with horns
He's runnin down the street and preaching hate to all he meets
He's beefin with the saints he used to teach
Believing that Satan haunts his dreams
He's thinking drinking the ink in will fix the pain that's been eating his heart
But after 50 bottles, he's still stuck under his thoughts
Will he conquer the pain
Or will he partner with it?
He thought he conquered the pain
Instead, he partnered with it
Now he bought a gun and he's never looking back again
They got him on the run now he's packing up his bags for good
He don't know, he don't know
That he's sprinting down the tracks toward the devil's hood
But he don't care, he don't care
And he never really could
Now he bought a gun and he's never looking back again
They got him on the run now he's packing up his bags for good
He don't know, he don't know
That he's sprinting down the tracks toward the devil's hood
But he don't care, he don't care
And he never really could
