[Verse 1] You came in with a grin Fingers crossed behind your back Left a trail of half-true names And a little smoke-black tax You said, “baby, let it slide” Like a coin into the street But I know that kind of smile Got a razor under teeth [Pre-Chorus] So don’t look holy now Don’t dress it up in gold I can read the little cracks Where the whole thing gets sold [Chorus] Sin for the sinners Take it out on me Sin for the sinners If it sets you free Sin for the sinners Say my name and run Sin for the sinners Till the damage’s done [Verse 2] You wear that soft excuse Like a ring around your thumb Cheap wine on your breath And the winter in your lungs I tried to be the saint You tried to make me lie Now the whole damn room is leaning To the fault line in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] So don’t look holy now Don’t ask me to be mild If you’re gonna burn the map Then you brought me to the fire [Chorus] Sin for the sinners Take it out on me Sin for the sinners If it sets you free Sin for the sinners Say my name and run Sin for the sinners Till the damage’s done [Bridge] Go on, break the quiet Go on, take the fall If you want a clean escape You can’t have me at all [Final Chorus] Sin for the sinners Take it out on me Sin for the sinners If it sets you free Sin for the sinners Say my name and run Sin for the sinners Till the damage’s done Sin for the sinners Yeah, all night long Sin for the sinners And we both know why
