I only meant to love you, don't you know it, babe? Why couldn't you be contented with the love I gave I've given you my heart, and now you want my mind Your love scares me to death, girl, 'cause it's the chokin' kind You can kill a man with bullets, poison, or a knife But it hurts him more to take his pride and ruin his life Whatever it is you want, girl, I hope you find But that hat don't fit my head 'cause it's the chokin' kind When you fall in love again, girl, take a tip from me If you don't like the peaches, walk on by the tree Find what you want and keep it, treat it sweet and kind But let it breathe and don't let go of the chokin' kind Let it breathe, don't let go, your love is the chokin' kind

It's like being in love You rob your own mind and defile your bed You ignore the fate of the players who both end up dead And you pretend for us and you pretend for them This fairytale will make them jealous of you But it's not the kind, the kind that you talked about And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind She is feeding you and you lie with her And for the first time your right arm becomes useful As you sin with it, you wanna cut it off But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do But it's not the kind, the kind that you talked about And it's just the kind that rips the clothing off your mind And she is feeding you and you lie with her And for the first time your right arm becomes useful As you sin with it, you wanna cut it off But instead you thank God for all of the wrong you do (Yeah well then you thought wrong) ('Cause you can't serve God and money) (You can serve one or the other) You cut the cord today with God's hand to hold yours steady He waits for you to apply the pressure The warmth of his breath wrapped in his words As he repeats his truth, after truth, after truth, after truth After truth, after truth, after truth, after truth, after- But it's just the kind, the kind you talked about And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ He is feeding you and you know the truth And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you And it's just the kind, the kind you talked about And it's just the kind that clothes your mind with Christ He is feeding you and you know the truth And I pray this is the last song I will sing to you I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry sister I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry everybody

Well, I was born the restless kind Settlin' down, never crossed my mind Wild and woolly, I guess that's me People sure get nervous when a man is free I can hold my tongue and I can hold my wine I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind I've seen the country and I've been to town Rode in fancy cars with the top rolled down Comin' down the road like a summer breeze Whatever it takes I do what I please I can hold my horses, I can hold the line Yeah, I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind Yeah, the restless kind Wao ooo Aaa aaa aaa I was born the restless kind I never assume what I'm gonna find I can stand my ground, I can slip through a crack But as sure as I leave buddy I'll be back I can hold my temper, I can bide my time Yeah, I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind I can hold my tongue, I can hold my wine Yeah, I can hold my own, I'm the restless kind Oh, I'm the restless kind Rough and rowdy restless kind Ooh hoo hoo hoo Ohh, take it home Aww Ohh, no, no Ooh hoo hoo hoo

Should we even wonder why our hearts are torn? Why our image is based on this broken city? Should we ask ourselves why our lungs breathe in sickness? Innocence is seen as weakness, laughter at as naïve. And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound. And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please. It's a scene that leaves you cold But why choose anything else and lose your place in line? May I ask one thing, how do you think this will work out? You are no more well-liked than those who have been betrayed And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please Look at you now Look at you now And it's these things that hold you down When they're supposed to keep you safe and sound. And it's these things you claim to believe Don't let them be the ones you forever try to please.

Burst into heaven Kiss in the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Dreaming 'til the sun goes down And night turns into day Rooms are empty, I've got plenty You could move in right away Seems like there's a hole In my dreams In my dreams In my dreams Down through the heavens Choke on the cotton clouds Arctic sheets and fields of wheat I can't stop coming down Your shrunken head Looking down on me above Send me home like an elephant stone To smash my dream of love Didn't your bed and bookshelf go And run, run, run away These four walls saw the rise and fall And your midnight getaway Seems like there's a hole In my dreams Or so it seems Yet nothing means anything Anymore

Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone No one knows what goes on within those walls But the silence says it all No regrets by the ones who form the line They have had enough at last and With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Death is knocking upon your gate of twisted lies Mark my words, there won't be another day this time Gallows end waiting for the ones in line They defied the hands of doom Reign of death, turning everything to waste By the power of the king born With a heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain With the heart of stone Like a devil's spawn Strive to crush the dreams of everyone below Only death relieves When their eyes turns black And the horrors will remain, with the heart of stone Heart of stone, heart of stone
