[Hook] 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 [Hook] 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 [Hook] 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 [Hook] 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 [Hook]
