Down on the ground countin' eyes on the ceilin'
Drownin' in a flood of liquor 'n shame
Hey what's my name?
Beaten but jolly on the stairway to heaven
Knock knock! It's me your old black eyed friend, once again
Hey moonlight child! Whatcha doin' here?
Take your bloody smile
Go back and face your fears
Yeah! That's what I thought!
So here I go, same old road, same old story
But whatta you know, I always come back from the dead
I keep on knockin' my head against the wall, to the floor
Bleedin' all over tryin' to reach the door
But it's always almost, always close
Until I feel the sting of the rose
Back to life down here on the ground floor
In a pile of blood spittin' out my soul, the one they stole
Back to sobriety among my demons
Knock knock! It's us! Did you think you could leave?
You're so naive
Hey destiny! What do you want from me?
Is there something I can't see?
Why won't you set me free?
No? That's what I thought!
So here I go, same old road, same old story
But whatta you know, I always come back from the dead
I keep on knockin' my head against the wall, to the floor
Bleedin' all over tryin' to reach the door
But it's always almost, always close
Until I feel the sting of the rose
Well here I am hand in hand
Standin' face to face with my yesterdays
Looks like I'm stuck in this place
So here I go, same old road, same old story
But whatta you know, I always come back from the dead
I keep on knockin' my head against the wall, to the floor
Bleedin' all over tryin' to reach the door
But it's always almost, always close
Until I feel the sting of the rose
Woh oh oh! Woh oh oh!
Woh oh oh! Woh oh oh!
Until I feel the sting of the rose!
Woh oh oh! Woh oh oh!
Woh oh oh! Woh oh oh!
Until I feel the sting of the rose!
