History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong

Sing another drinking song
The honky-tonk will do
Make another breaking bong
Your favorite ingenue

This, the distant dawn
This, the distant dawn

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One pixie's broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Chime at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population

Pistol and its pawn
Sailing through the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood on borderlines be drawn

Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound to rap the Gothic through

History's so strong
History's so strong

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One pixie's broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Chime at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
(Stay all night, we save the population)
Stay all night, we save the population
(Stay all night, we save the population)
Stay all night, we save the population
(Stay all night, we save the population)
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
(Stay all night, we save the population)
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
