Songtext zu 'Saint' von This Way To The Egress

Why, hello there little girl
I have an eye for your red curls
I'd like to see you way upstairs up in my suite

Let's have you strip your gown off
While we stumble all around
In such a drunken mess we never want to stop

And I see that you're so pretty
But I've got to leave the city
And I know I'll never see your face again

But I must confess I'll steal your dress
And sniff it as I'm going west
And I'll never sleep again

As I make my way through cities
That are innocent, yet gritty
I go to and fro with my obscurities

And I laugh with local children
As I give them toys I made for them
With smiles on their face they watch me leave

I tell you now I'm sick of it
I'm coming through the thick of it
I wonder is there more to this free lance

And I never knew that through the years
I'd isolate and shout through tears
And with madness I dance

As I wander down dark alley's
And I hear the hobo's asking me
'Oh my good sir, could you please spare a cent?'

I curse them as I kick them down
How merciless I victimize
Their silly dumb expressions off their face

I laugh with glee as I turn round
And leave them all tied up and bound
Dismiss them for the rats to feast upon

And I hear their cries as I run off
But caring not I simply scoff
And I must leave this town

So tell me am I going mad for you?
I want you to be there when I am through

'Cause every day I look away
I crumble down through my dismay
Pathetic little sick display of curses
Tell me do you have a doll of me
You're sticking with pins?

Ooh
So now it's time to leave behind
The days oh how I was so kind
To all the people that I ever met

I refuse to humor them
With stories of my life back when
I never saw a single day of angst

So I left my soul back in the last town
Cannot wait to tear these walls down
I will never go back to that life

'Cause I'd rather cause you slime and rot
And watch you choke as you get caught
And fall upon my knife

So here you stupid child you can throw
Away that smile, down the river
Where you sometimes went to play

And if you only knew that off
The same old tree you used to swing
Your sister hangs so tightly from her noose

And the laughter I am after
I cannot hear with this chatter
So I must have you expire from this world

So I'll strangle life right from your lips
It seems the only thing I'll miss
Is your gasping for air

Running down the streets I only stop
To ravage women in dark corners
Of the alley ways at night

I strip them, and I cut them
And I force them down upon their knees
My eyes roll back to see my evil mind

I know now I'm addicted to this life
I lead it's wicked
And I know this little spree of mine will last

Cause no matter what I'll find you somewhere
Even in your darkest nightmare
I won't miss the chance

Oh, I can't believe what I've done
And it seems that I murder
Everyone that I see

And if I continue all of this
It'll prove to be so
Scandalously me, guaranteed

Oh, I'll never see, I'll never breathe
I'll never come to faith on this
I can't sit here and say I wanna change

Cause every life I take I feel
Their precious little faces break
I need to see the blood upon my hands

And I fear and loathe this state of mind
But I get higher every time
I cause these worthless kinds of mine to scream

So open wide and let it out
I'll stick it deep unless you shout
It's time to die, let's here you cry
So I can sleep at night
