There's a sadness in my heart
And it trickles down my spine
It burns a whole right through my chest
Onto the other side

And now it's living in my lungs
It's making it's home there
And with every brick and stone it lays
Its using up my air

And I'm singing
(Wow oh oh oh)

Now we're living on the devils land
We're planting our crops there
We're drinking down his poison yeah
We're drinking from his well

But any night in summer
When that golden sun has set
He'll take your hand in dance and boy
He'll help you to forget

That you're singing
(Wow oh oh oh)

And if you see him riding in the setting sun
And if you feel it living in your lungs
You better ask yourself if dying sounds like fun
Cause you can only hide your troubles for so long
Yeah you can only hide your troubles for so long
Until they're all you got and you're left singing their song
