[verse 1]
stumbling out of the cold gray fog
i started running just to pick up the pace
but the b-st-rds behind me were running too fast;
there’s no way i could get away

ol’ saint john, you must help me now;
there’s a power too great to escape
i need the protection of your garden tower;
i need to see the light behind the gate

[verse 2]
the world only moves when a woman dance
i’m on twisted key to let the devil in
under the noose and my golden voice
with my life she can do as she pleases

don’t let the chain round your neck take your breath away;
it’s too tight, but hey, that’s well understood
throw the lover up for your naked shoulders;
he’s never done you any good

[chorus]
someday, one night
where the snakes are crawling out of paradise
wipe the makeup off your dirty little face
and shove more coal on the fiery furnace
more coal on the fiery furnace
[verse 3]
while orpheus died not so long ago
he had been underneath the weather for a while
his voice cracked open before the curtains fell
oh but he managed to go out in style

i damaged his lungs with a dry cigarette
and his talent and ego made him lonely
while his body and soul had such ragged relations;
if you listen you could hear him moaning

[verse 4]
how the power of redemption lies in the broken heart
of a long lost lover’s lament
you won’t find beauty without the underlying pain;
there’s no righteous man that don’t feel descent

once upon a time i was free as a bird;
now the devil pull the dagger on my face
i can see the madman strolling over the horizon
and if they don’t hurry up they’re going to be late

[chorus]
someday, one night
where the snakes are crawling out of paradise
wipe the makeup off your dirty little face
and shove more coal on the fiery furnace
more coal on the fiery furnace
[bridge]

[verse 5]
all all alone the woman stands
near the paralytic moon
blood still dripping from the gun in her hand
did you k!ll all the men too soon?

eyes wide open, teardrops ready fall
sad smile painted on her face
she slips off her clothes and dives into the river
as the sins disintegrate

[verse 6]
well i can still smell the blood on the new cut grass;
i can still see the fog across the waters
does she remember the pain i suffered?
has she still got all the pretty things i got her?

well i’m on my knees covered in shame;
i swear i was ready to surrender
i built her a tower, now she won’t let me in;
i can see her laughing now in all that splendor

[chorus]
someday, one night
where snakes are crawling out of paradise
wipe the makeup off your dirty little face
and shove more coal on the fiery furnace
more coal on the fiery furnace
