I heard a stranger calling your name I saw you whisper to send him away Am I the joker? Am I the king? Is there a difference when you're next to the queen? So strange to be slipping away She knew me by name when I found her So far to be falling from grace Can't get into heaven without her I find an angel by the river at night I pull her close when she puts up a fight She holds the secret to relieving my pain Then doesn't know me by the light of the day So strange to be slipping away She knew me by name when I found her So far to be falling from grace Can't get into heaven without her Get me out of here Look down the barrel at a face full of tears The only way we know to face our fears Give up the ghost to the weight of the lies Hold on to anything that keeps it alive So strange to be slipping away She knew me by name when I found her So far to be falling from grace Can't get into heaven without her
