What kind of chaos was I born in To have it rain this hard on a Thursday morning The saints above are cryin' in their sleep While hellfire rises from the street Got another fifth of whiskey A couple packs of cigs An angel and a devil One on each shoulder, and they said Would you rather leave Or live forever Death keeps reservin' me a better table The price is more than I'm willing to lose I know this game that he's playin' is fatal Still order one more round before I'm through So until then Another fifth of whiskey A couple packs of cigs An angel and a devil One on each shoulder, and they'll say Would you rather leave or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever The bartender keeps my secrets polished Pours 'em neat beside abandoned promises The jukebox plays a somber melody A little out of tune, a little bittersweet They're laughing at the same old stories Like there's a damn thing left to prove The curtain falls before the punchline And everybody's waiting for the cue It's getting harder to remember What I'm supposed to be here for Death keeps reservin' me a better table The price is more than I'm willing to lose I know this game that he's playin' is fatal Still order one more round before I'm through So until then Another fifth of whiskey A couple packs of cigs An angel and a devil One on each shoulder, and they'll say Would you rather leave or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever If death is such a certainty Why does living feel like a threat? I've made it through the worst of things I haven't made much sense of yet And when they ask me for an answer I can barely make a sound There's a difference between giving up And being worn the fuck down Death keeps reservin' me a better table Been savin' me a seat with my name He smiles like we're old acquaintances And I can't bring myself to look away But until then Another fifth of whiskey A couple packs of cigs An angel and a devil One on each shoulder, singing Would you rather leave Or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever Would you rather leave or live forever The rain still falls on Thursday morning The saints are cryin' in their sleep An angel and a devil Still arguing with me
