Lyrics

Cover Me Again

[Verse 1]

Heart of steel

Born to kill

Mothers milk

Left me dressed in shame

I just go my way

Move too fast

It won't last

Hammerhead

Daddy went away

He still knows my name

[Chorus]

Ooh, somethings gotta give

The paper on the wall

Soon will peel and fall

Ooh, and then you see my face

Painted up with sin

Cover me

Cover me again

[Verse 2]

I outgrew my old shoes

My backyard

Was cluttered up with lies

Kept it easy on the eyes

Fresh homemade

Undershade

Black and red

Paint my fingers blue

Still hiding from the truth

Mm my best friend kills the pain

Hmm, but only for a day

Mm, keeps chewing on my veins

[Chorus]

Ooh, somethings gotta give

The paper on the wall

Soon will peel and fall

Ooh, and then you see my face

Painted up with sin

Cover me

Cover me again

Cover me again
