Heads on the Wall Lyrics

I'm in a cold and lonely tomb 

Surrounded by darkness in my newfound home 

I'm not alone, anymore, alone, anymore 

I'm looking back at yesterday 

I do remember my escape, and what I had to do 

Have to do, don't you see, don't you see 

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at 

Heads on the wall...dead yet alive 

Heads on the wall 

I'm looking at heads on the wall...heads 

Did you know, if you die in a graveyard 

The soul can't escape if you lose your head 

But it lives on in the brain...in your brain 

Don't you see, don't you see 

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at 

Heads on the wall...dead yet alive 

Heads on the wall 

I'm looking at heads on the wall 

Last night, when I climbed the cemetery gate 

I saw a man digging in the ground 

Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger 

Jeremiah had worked here for years 

Already had one foot in the grave 

With my help we got in the other 

I can't believe...he wasn't stronger 

Mary the hooker was coming to church 

To let the reverend fill up her purse 

Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in HELL 

No one must find out, no one must tell 

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at 

Heads on the wall...dead yet alive 

Heads on the wall 

And they're staring at me, and me, and me 

No one comes and leaves again 

I've got to make sure no one knows where I am 

Especially THAT man...I remember 

I can't get rid of those voices
