Sweeter, then you leave me Hanging on a circle Nine to the center of eternity divine
And if you don't believe me Sorrow has a purpose Forgiving indiscretions, left for me the blind
And when the judgement rendered Incapacitation Forever is just nothing when your trading it for time Angel on my shoulder Devil in my pocket I'm just doing fine, on the line
Hell is, for the not like them All fired up and ready for the promised land Hell is, for the other man All fired up, doing the best he can
Attendance is required For those less inspired Patience is a vice counting one through nine
And if it was desire That brings you into fire The outer rings are knocking For the very last time
All the souls are grieving Murderers are thieving Suffer at the core is a friend of mine
Angel on my shoulder Devil hot and colder I'm just doing fine, on the line
We condemn, false accusation We condemn, man's liberation We condemn, no reservation We condemn, abomination We condemn, all accusation We condemn, man's innovation We condemn, no reservation We condemn, abomination
Bitter as you grieve me, never did you believe me Judgement at the center of eternity divine Contentment is illusive, religiously intrusive Tell me where to go, tell me where to sign
An when the child's finished And the man diminished Remember that he is still a friend of mine Angel in my pocket, devil on a rocket I'm just doing fine
