The Pretty Reckless - Going to Hell Lyrics
Follow Me Down
Since I met you, I've been crazy
Since I've been with you I've been lost
You make everything seem hazy
Love comes with such a cost
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees
So follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees
Nights avoiding things unholy
Your hand slips across my skin
I go down on you so slowly
Don't confess none of your sins
Have I lost my mind?
Have I lost my mind?
Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees
So follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees
When you're young, you always take what you can get
Even bicycles and sprinklers get you wet
Now I know that there's a different way to die
My body breathes
Heart still beats
But I am not alive
Follow me down to the river
Drink while the water is clean
Follow me down to the river tonight
I'll be down here on my knees
Follow me down to the river
Follow me down through the trees
Follow me down to the river, man
I'll be down here on my knees
I'll be down here on my knees
Young love as sweet as can be

Going To Hell
(The end is the end, don't bless me father for I have sinned)
Father did you miss me,
Been locked up a while.
I got caught for what I did but took it all in style.
Laid to rest all my confessions I gave way back when.
Now I'm versed in so much worse,
So I am back again, and he said
For the lives that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I make, I'm going to hell!
Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.
Father did you miss me,
Don't ask me where I've been.
You know I know, yes, I've been told I redefine a sin.
I don't know what's driving me to put this in my head.
Maybe I wish I could die, maybe I am dead!
And he said
For the lives that I fake, I'm going to hell!
For the vows that I break, I'm going to hell!
For the ways that I hurt, when I'm hiking up my skirt.
I am sitting on a throne while they're buried in the dirt.
For the man that I hate, I'm going to hell!
Gettin' heavy with the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.
Please forgive me father,
I didn't mean to bother you.
The devil's in me father.
He's inside of everything I do.
For the lives that I take, I'm going to hell!
For the laws that I break, I'm going to hell!
For the love that I hate, I'm going to hell!
For the lies that I make, I'm going to hell!
For the way I condescend and never lend a hand.
My arrogance is making this head buried in the sand.
For the souls I forsake, I'm going to hell!
Gettin' married to the devil, you can hear the wedding bells.

Heaven Knows
Jimmy's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear him cry
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing it
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dough
Gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty
Won't be sweet
She's just sittin' there on her feet
Sing it
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Go
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing
Oh, lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways
One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Show you life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell 'em it's good
Tell 'em okay
Don't do a goddamn thing they say
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
I've seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I've seen better days, man
I've had better days
Jeanna's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear the crying
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

House On A Hill
Somewhere in the end of all this hate
There's a light ahead
That shines into this grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
Somewhere in the end we're all insane
To think that light ahead can save us from this
Grave that's in the end of all this pain
In the night ahead there's a light upon this
House on a hill
The living, living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
But the children are doing fine
I think about them all the time
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will
I am not afraid
I won't burn out in this place
My intention is to fade and I will, I will
In this house on a hill
The dead are living still
Their intention is to kill and they will, they will
Keep your children safe inside
Out of pocket, out of mind
Until they drink their wine and they will, they will, they will

Sweet Things
Evil had knockin' at my door
Evil making me its whore
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
Evil, want you to know
I'm much too young to be owned
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
Hey there, little girl
Come inside I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
I don't mind decay?
You are the night that saves my day
Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
I'm evil
Knocking at your door
I'm evil
Making you my whore
I don't mind if you take what's yours
But give me mine
I am like decay
I rot the ground to guide your way, oh
Hey there, little girl
Come inside I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
How you like me now?
Did I succeeded in making you proud?
Hey there, little girl
Come inside don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe

Dear Sister
Dear sister, can you help me lie?
I've told the truth so many years
No one seems to wanna hear that
I'm not someone else inside
I've been alone this lonely road
Looks like I'm not coming home
But I don't mind, please don't cry

Absolution
Jump into the sun
Dear boy what are you running from
Everyone has got to be saved
I have heard a voice if it came down to make a choice
I would be the one who's replaced
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution
Run boy be a man
With legs too weak to make a stand
We're all crucified in the end
Can you hear a voice
Decipher it through all this noise
You'll be left with nothing again
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
[x3]
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution
Jump into the sun
Dear boy what are you running from
The answer you will find in your grave
Time keeps rolling on
I need my
But time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution
[x2]
Time keeps rolling on
I need my Absolution
[x3]
Boys on the outside of heaven
But I could be wrong

Blame Me
Sittin' in the back
Baby park it or drive
Breathing out the cracks just to stay alive
Earthquake body shake joke is all on me
I remember when I remember the time
Didn't have to take just to feel alive
Eyes black head back joke is all on me
Blame all your life on me [x2]
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me
All on me, oh [x2]
Everything I wanted was in my hand
I gave it all up for a better man
Who beat me down but on the ground I stand
Sitting in the back baby hardly alive
If I'm about to crack kick the pedal and drive
All this time the joke was all on me
Blame all your life on me
Just blame all your life on me
I gave it all for free
Blame all your life on me
Hit me with the wind again hit me with the wind I know
I have lost a friend again I have lost a friend I know how the
Story goes
Blame all your life on me [x2]
Cus I gave it all for free
So blame all your life on me
All on me, oh [x2]
It's all on me, oh
All on me, oh

Burn
Here comes the darkness
It's eating on my soul
Now that the spark has
Run out of control
This fire is raging
I can't find the door
I just want to die here
But you wanted more
You want me to burn
Want me to burn
Want me to hurt
And maybe I will finally learn
Here comes the darkness
It's eating on my brain
Now that the light has
Driven me insane
This fire is blazing
And I'm still inside
I just want to die here
You won't let me out alive
You want me to burn
Want me to burn
Want me to hurt
And maybe I will finally learn

Whyd You Bring A Shotgun To The Party
Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made
Sitting in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom
You think, then you start to drink
Then you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with
Then boom
Does it make you feel like a man?
Boom
It's not the size we understand,
Boom
You think you're gonna get with me
You're never gonna get with me
You're never gonna dance with me
I admit, I feel like you, like shit
But I don't go 'round and take it out on everyone about it
We're all part of the system
You wanna start a war?
You think that anyone would listen?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna make a statement? You should've come without it
You turn the TV on, watch it if you dare
You see a politician and you start to pull your hair
But it's all two dimension see there's really nothing there
You wanna tell them what you think you think they f*ckin' care
And boom
Do you think they hear you now?
And boom
Making noises in the crowd, all in the way that you're using
You love it so much then why do you abuse it?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna make a statement? You should've come without it
We're all part of the system
Load 'em up shoot 'em down
But you keep f*cking missin'
We're all part of the system
Load 'em up shoot 'em down
But you keep f*cking missing
Alone afraid you wanna make them pay that's...
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Everybody's got one, there's nothing new about it
Wanna get the girl? Then you should've come without it
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?
Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party?

Fucked Up World
Back door bitches begging me to behold
All their cash and cars platinum silver'n gold
We're like 'diamonds in the sky' that is what we are told
No mountain made of money can buy you a soul
Oh I can see it
Oh I can see it
Oh I can see it
Coming down
Oh I can see it
Oh I can see it
Oh I can see it
Coming down
It's a f*cked up world
What do you get
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
A f*cked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Banging little boys bugging me on the bus
Say they want to know who did it but the answer's really us see
I don't know you why do you want to know me
You ain't gettin what you want unless you're getting it for free
Oh I can feel it
Oh I can feel it
Oh I can feel it
Coming down
Oh I can feel it
Oh I can feel it
Oh I can feel it
Coming down
It's a f*cked up world
What do you get
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
It's a f*cked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Back to these backdoor bitches begging me to behave
Jamming Jesus down my throat, no I don't want to be saved
Ain't a chain on my brain, I'm nobody's slave
I got one foot in the cradle and one in the grave
It's a f*cked up world
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
It's a f*cked up world
What do you get from it
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
Sex and love and guns, light a cigarette
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world
It's a f*cked up world

Waiting For A Friend
The night is when
The ghosts all come out
Playin' with my head
Spin it all around
This room is like a prison cell
I'm all by myself
I'm waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
You left me today
Lyin' on the floor
I wanted you to stay
Seems you wanted more
This bed is like a prison cell
Cause I'm all by myself
Still waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
And there's stone cold bars on my door
For this stone cold heart
Some people say
Life is like a lie
Take it day by day
Never knowing why
My head is like a prison cell
I'm all by myself
I'm waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
Still waiting for my friend
To come and break me out
