Oh we died on every corner In the days before the flood And we waded in the water Frozen fingers dipped in mud I wrote letters on the back Of every napkin I could burn And you left with no intention of return Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell And the Devil, he threw roses One day I will see you again And the Devil will throw roses And the Devil will throw roses Now a ghost of good intention Can behave the way it pleases So I watched you in the mirror While you prayed on rusted knees I carved letters in the top Of every table I could burn And I left with no intention of return Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell And the Devil, he threw roses One day I will see you again And the Devil will throw roses And the Devil will throw roses And the Devil will throw roses He'll sing a joyful noise He'll sing a joyful noise He'll sing a joyful noise The Devil and the joyful noise Oh, we danced down the stairs into hell And the Devil, he threw roses One day I will see you again And the Devil will throw roses And the Devil will throw roses And the Devil will throw roses
