From The Last, Last Call Lyrics

Here's a long evasive story
Of failed hopes and glories
Old chandeliers and scratched-up 45s
Here's some hymns for my procession
And a couple drunk confessions
Lie soaked in rapture tonight.

No no lie, no lie, no not I,
Believe me when I say that I'm trying hard today but...

I'm not right, no I'm not right
Tell me it's not true
I would never lie to you
I'm not right, no I'm not right.
Maybe you will see that
it wasn't meant to be,
But it's not me.

The sins of the faithful,
The luxuries of regret
But it's the faithless who will know love's tragedies.
An act of purification
with all the best intentions
Smite me for my iniquities.

No no lie, no lie, no not I
Can't believe you say that you're better off this way but...

I'm not right, no I'm not right.
Tell me what you see
when you stand and look at me.
I'm not right, no I'm not right
Sorry when I say
I'm still holding on today.

And will you forgive me
When I'm found dead on this train
on the outskirts of Berlin?
Doubled up on angel dust
There crying on my knees
For some god to come and save
This lifeless soul within
My ghost will write these words
As you cry yourself to sleep.

I'm not right, no I'm not right.
You'd never want to know
What I'm capable of, yeah.
I'm not right, no I'm not right
Tell me it's not true but
I would not believe you, yeah
I'm not right, no I'm not right
Maybe you will see that
It wasn't meant to be
But it's not me.
