  • Take my hand and pray with me
    My final days in company
    The devil now has come for me
    And helicopters circling the scene

    And I pray for us
    Could you pray for us
    We know he loves you the best
    We know he loves you the best

    Lights inside my cave
    Tired of my pain
    I'm tired of my pain, oh

    All these drugs they play
    All leave in these terrible ways
    They don't pay like they use to pay
    I used to make it day to day

    No one cares for me
    I have minimal needs
    I keep no company
    And now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me

    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me
    Now they are through with me Writer/s: BRADFORD COX

  • Vadim from ParisTo anyone who looks up the disturbing story that inspired the song (that thing that kept the author's dad up at night): the short story is only fiction made up by author Dennis Cooper (a Marquis de Sade fan, by the way, which explains a lot). So, don't lose sleep at night because writers like to make up wicked stories.
