Lyrics

Mostly Back

[Verse 1]

That was no cherry that I saw in the darkness

You'd been there long before

That's what they love to tell me

You said it was easy

And he always wanted more

But anyone who's gone this far would know the devil is no whore

[Chorus]

You said you'd been to hell and back

But mostly back is what it seemed

I am the bleeding edge

But it was me who followed you here nonetheless

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

[Verse 2]

That was no cherry that I saw in the darkness

They've all had a piece

Spreading rumors that the night

Is always on its knees

You said it was easy

And he always wanted more

But anyone who's gone this far would know the devil is no whore

[Chorus]

You said you'd been to hell and back

But mostly back is what it seemed

I am the bleeding edge

But it was me who followed you here nonetheless

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

That's what they love to tell me

(That's what they love

That's what they love

That's what they love)

(In the darkness

In the darkness)
