I'm the first man up to tow the line Shot down. Light up whiskey bottles of turpentine Written out a eulogy for anyone who tries to cross my path I fill the ranks of saints and sinners, the futures and the aftermaths Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start I'm the poison in the well I'm the fruit rotting on the vine You still don't believe me? Out of many will come one Let the gates of hell swing wide for me Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start It's a new religion come get in line Hellhounds are barking and they're close behind A promise land awaits this odd man out and it's all mine You just lead and I will follow Say a prayer for me God knows I can't control myself A new storms coming, and it won't be long Mama said I was a no good son I think it's time for me to make my mark Headlines and police cars... A tragedy from the start
