There's a house on the side of Monaco
Its neighbors all say it's a manic show
Because he's crazy, he's wild
And his baby, and their child
In the middle of the night, everyone knows
They linger in the streets, they're ageless ghosts
Yeah, it's a circus, he's the clown
They've come to haunt the town
When the street lights are off and asleep is all
They come sweeping through the lane like decking the halls
They're known for it, it's a curse
Never happened before, it's a first
So, why, you might ask, are the curtains closed
All except one that's way down this road
Well, it sounds crazy, it sounds wild
Not the story for the mild
In this grave of truths, she has the answer
She'll tell you things that you never wanted answered
She'll say
Their bodies are still underwater
Their spirits wrapped around each other
Their souls are long gone
They'd been taken by this town
Their religion is still blowing in the wind
Their love remains in the alleys and
Their destiny paints the pavement
In splatters of bright red
It happened quite a few years ago
Those who say they remember actually don't
They can't help it, it's just not
Known to be in our blood
Because they were the sons of the daughters of sons
Who chained the ghosts together so that they could run
They were the sacrifice to the beast
Just so it might have a feast
Now the air that resides here was the gushes that came
Out of their mouths as they plunged in the cave
And he, he whispered, in the water
To his treasure, and his lover
"I'll get these people back for what they've done
And we'll reunite in the setting sun
Just, just trust me, gave you my word
And I'll give them what they are worth"
In this grave of truths, only I have the answer
Those who knock on my door will never return
'Cause I'll say
Our bodies are still underwater
Our spirits wrapped around each other
Our souls are long gone
They'd been taken by this town
My religion is still blowing in the wind
My love remains in the alleys and
My destiny paints the pavement
In splatters of bright red
(In splatters of bright red)
(In splatters of bright red)
(Of bright red)
My memory's what I will never lose
I'll hunt down every one of you
Till the sun sets
My word, I've kept
If you wonder why I never left
Why every corner has my presence
Well, as I've said
I won't leave till this town is red
Our bodies are still underwater
Our spirits wrapped around each other
Our souls are long gone
They'd been taken by your town
My religion is still blowing in the wind
My love remains in the alleys and
My destiny paints the pavement
In splatters of bright red
