I’m gonna wash my hands of this world
I’m gonna join the band of the birds
And I will scrub until they bleed
And my blood will stain the earth
When I wash my hands of this world
Won’t you lend me a dollar for the fare
I know Heaven is a long way from here
And all my money has been spent on ketamine and beer
Won’t you lend me a dollar for the fare
I’m gonna scrub myself up before I go
(Where ya going?)
i’m gonna take this elevator to the final floor
And everyone will say who’s that?
Well god damn that man was a catch
I’m gonna scrub myself up before i go
(Before i go!)
See my will has been signed, sealed and writ
(What’s it say?)
It’s just three simple words
(Have At It!)
And to my love I’ll leave behind these bread crumbs and dimes
Cause my will’s been written sealed and signed
(Sealed and signed!)
Well one day i’m sure you’ll come and join us too
And i promise dear there’s plenty here to do
See the bars they never close
Gnd the Guard’s are all on yokes
Well one day I’m sure you’ll come and join us too
Cause it’s a never ending party in the sky
(In The Sky!)
Everybody up here’s looking for the ride
(For The Ride!)
Well your Mam your Da and your Gran
All taking turns with Uncle Sam
It’s a never ending party in the sky
(In The Sky!)
I’m gonna wash my hands of this world
I’m gonna join the band of the birds
And I will scrub until they bleed
And my blood will stain the earth
When I wash my hands of this world.
