Beggar's Guild

Oh put it on, take it off real quick
On the bottom of the pile, I’m feeling sick
You never cross my mind, not by baby night, no-
You keep me in the beggar’s guild

So I sleep all day and I dream all night
With the bottle in my hand I take the devil’s side
I smile real big just to keep it hid
Oh, the truth about my lack of will

So I run like hell from the city’s glow
I lose my name, I pass before the folks I used to know
If I go far away from the city grates
And the long reach of the government

Oh all alone in a cold north sea
In the blue sky above a plane flew over me
The banner it pulled said “you are a fool,”
“Did you really think you’d ever win?”

I’m taking off my dirty skin
There is nothing to refute my sin

I fear no one
I fear no one but you
Don’t care no, no
I lie only to tell the truth (no)

Oh the steep demands of the higher call
Oh you pawned all the words so the cogs won’t stall
I burned my clothes and I gut my soul
And pretend that I was never born (ah yeah)

Oh my oh my, look what you have done
Spit your head out on the floor like you’re the chosen one.
I give her my heart but she wanted no part
So I sold it to an antique store

So I dug a hole four thousand miles down
To the center of the earth where I will not be found
Memories of the moon singing see you soon
Oh I was always partial to the sun

I was picked up by two men of the law
They said we’re taking you downtown, forget about your call
Hell’s no place for a wandering face
Go take it up with beelzebub

You laugh as you pull out the rug
I was never really much in love

I fear no one
I fear no one but you
Don’t care no, no
I lie only to tell the truth (no)
