| Gone To Hell You built your home and you lived your life at the back of a firing range And all your neighbours they donít talk much have come to think each other strange Tumble down those dusty trinkets that line the walls of your cell All that you once knew has gone to hell The ghosts have come to party and someoneís laughing like a loon And all your friends are still mouthing off the words to that old tune Where the beat sounds like a bucket tumbling down an empty well And all that you once knew has gone to hell You're out late and feeling awkward in your brand new dancing shoes Got a little bit drunk, lost your clothes and now youíve nothing left to lose Morning breaks and youíre standing naked outside a cheap hotel And all that you once knew has gone to hell Now youíre sitting in the front row and this old theatre is aflame As the image that you held so high melts within the frame You scramble for the exit, heard somebody yell And all that you once knew has gone to hell It seems that letter you recieved from a friend with a forceful will Brought back all those heady days in that house on the misty hill Now your pulse is racing to the sound of a distant bell An all that you once knew has gone to hell Outside you can hear it screaming bloody murder through the trees Where the wildfireís feeding off this late sou-easter breeze You've sent your children to the front door to bid all your guests farewell And all that you once knew has gone to hell After all these years and bitter tears, you came to disregard The very thing that you found, buried in your own backyard Was fragile, outnumbered and encased in a rusty shell And all that you once knew has gone to hell |
