Lyrics

Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe Fall down on your knees in the dirt I'm tied to the mast between water and wind Believe me, you'll never get hurt Now the ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole Down at the Five Points I stand I'll lose everything, but I won't let go of your hand Now Peter deny and Judas betray I'll pay with the roll of the drum And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel And the watchman is making his rounds Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth I've only got one leg to stand You can send me to hell, but I'll never let go of your hand Swing from the rope on a cross-legged tree Signed with a one-eyed jack's blood From Temple and Union to Weyley and Grand Walking back home in the mud I must make my best of the only way home Marley deals only in stones I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes Just give me a couple more throws I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knights Dare me to jump and I will I'll fall from your grace, but I'll never let go of your hand I'll never let go of your hand I'll never let go of your hand
