Here's my corrections. I used both the studio version and multiple live versions to correlate. This is close to 100%.


all my branches break when you go and tell me your body can't take lots of bein' lonely

I'm racing through the dark a headless Saint Bernard to cauterize the scars(stars?) that line your dirty heart

what the hell can I do when you whisper "punish me"? snap me like a tiger trap I lost all my honey

I'm bracing for the shiver string me in your quiver aim me for the skyline but shoot me in the river

and terror quits me when you palpitate confess directly sadness spreads your legs

I contemplate the toll turning diamonds into coal traveling down this hole throwing conscience to the wind

that's blues, it's not a path that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin we're not to blame it's the same as it was never before, so

I'm not a scoundrel It's just a suit that fits me cut ties and breeze nights maintains insanity never thought I'd be like a hunger with no appetite a hunter with no urge for thrills a time for now, despise

so I ask the devil how to learn to handle woman with a shovel digging downward spirals She tells me what to do and how to strut my cool and polish up my boots with all your lovers blood

it's cursed, it's not a road that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin we're not to blame it's the same as it was never before, so

and I roam the trenches, barely just what I need hate you more than anything 'cause you're everything to me, so you met your match, don't even know it yet challenges ain't challenge when a needle's got your edge

this time, it's not a hole that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin we are to blame it's the same is it was never before, so -


What a kickass song.
