  • Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    There's no place to run and hide
    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    Damn my bastard pride

    From the middle of nowhere
    He rides it all alone
    From the edges of somewhere
    He's grindin' flesh and bone
    From the fringes of darkness
    He breathes a steady hand
    And the tinges of poison
    Come seeping from his glands

    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    There's no place to run and hide
    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    Damn my bastard pride

    If you ask him nicely
    Perhaps he'll go away
    Just move politely
    And beg him not to stay
    With a mouth full of garbage
    He spits into your eye
    And an ear full of pity
    He'll teach you how to die

    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    There's no place to run and hide
    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    Goddamn my bastard pride

    She stands before us
    With a Bible in her grasp
    When she opens her mouth up
    You can hear the wretched rasp
    Like a bucket of barnacles
    She's abrasive to the skin
    Like the ignorant masses
    That hope someday she'll win

    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    There's no place to run and hide
    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    Damn my bastard pride

    Tragedy's poundin'
    Hard against your door
    And the cancer's eating
    At your inner core
    And you're feeling helpless
    Can't control the game
    Do you fade away softly
    Or go out in a ball of flames 'cause

    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    There's no place to run and hide
    Tragedy's A' Comin'
    And I cannot step aside
    No I cannot step aside
    Damn this bastard pride Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
