LYRICS

This is for the dogs
This is for the rocks
This is for the prostitutes
This is for the cocks

This is for the rain
This is for the walls
This is for the infidels
This is for the alcohol

This is for whose yet to be born
And for those who dance until dawn
This is for everyone you knew
This, this is for you

This is for the dead
This is for the skin
Who wander into paradise
Scattered by the wind

Mothers, sisters, fathers and sons
Jim and Sasha, Cindy and John
This is for everything you do
This, this is for you

For that girl with the earring
Godless and forgotten
A rusted old railing
The insane and the rotten

This is for the dead
This is for the skin
Who wander into paradise
Scattered by the wind

This is for the birds in the trees
This is for the drunkards and thieves
I believe this might be true
This, this is for you

This is for ev’rything you do
This, this is for you
