[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I was on the p
agan run,
On a super
stitious road,
Looking for a
day to come,
To park my res
tless soul,
I was lost and
in a mess,
Too proud to b
eg or bow,
And though I'd
never admit i
t,
I was scared
as hell.
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Com
e along with m
e,
I'll take you
home,
I'll make you
warm again",
Then left me c
old,
Cold.
[Interlude]
[Chorus 1]
I was on the
pagan run,
Avarice was my
road, (ooh oo
h . . .),
A pilgrim for
holy money,
Chasing an e
mpty hole (ooh
ooh . . .).
[Post-Chorus]
She said, "Com
e along with m
e,
I'll take you
home,
I'll make you
warm again",
Then left me c
old,
Cold.
