Song lyrics
Stay out of the light
Or the photographs that I gave you
You can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I’ll grieve you
Can I meet you, alone
Another night and I’ll see you
Another night and I’ll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe
The kind of dirty
Where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go

Touched by angels though, I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I’d live this everyday

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off
I’m so dirty, babe
It ain't the money
And it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It’s for the bodies I claim and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Down
And down we go
And down we go
And down we go
And we all fall down

I try

I try

And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We’ll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way

And never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried, one more night, one more night
Well I’m laughing', crying', laughing'
I tried, well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
I tried, I tried, I tried

And we'll love again and we'll laugh again
We’ll CRY again and we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
So much better off this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

Oh my Bob, this song is prolly the best on the entire album!!! It gets stuck in my head for forevers and evers, especially at work, and I can't help but to hum while I'm working!!! Everybody probably thinks I'm crazy insane, but, psh, who cares? I love it!! I love MCR!!! (and Gerard and Frank are soooo beautiful...yeah, I know just about everybody else has already said that)

Clean me off
I'm so dirty, babe

that's my fave part of the song...I agree with the person who said they'd like to clean off Gerard....I'd DEFINITELY LOVE to clean off gerard... i really love how we says it too...
But it's not just Gerard who i like, i love the whole band...Gerard's voice makes it sound meaningful and even though it's probably about killing someone, he makes it sound so.... i don't think there's any words for how beautiful and everything it sounds... anyone else agree?

To failtofire I think You right... but only in a literal sense. I agree more with helena7712...

"Touched by angels though, I fall out of grace
I did it all so maybe I’d live this everyday"

He's talking about everything the band went thru to get to this point...

and "It ain't the money
And it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It’s for the bodies I claim and those"
It's bluntly saying that this isn't for money or fame, but for the fans (bodies) they get...

and
"And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
We’ll love again, we'll laugh again
And it's better off this way"

It's like he's trying to say that he knows they eventually thier music will fade out only to be replaced by a new sound...

Does that make sense to anyone... or am I just way to outside the box...

Ah I LOVE this song! It's my fave off the album after Give 'Em Hell, Kid.

'They gave us two shots to the back of the head..."

Awesome melody and the vocals are just divine here.

this is by far my favourite MCR song, by far. it is my little "teenage-angst" song when i am feeling oh so teenage angst-y.


Oh so dirty babe; the kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes


Love it!

I thought Gerard was weird-looking when I first saw the music video "Helena", but I absolutely loved the song. So, I listened to MCR's other songs. And THAT'S when I was suddenly very turned on by Gerard. So, yeah. It was actually the other way around for me.

when will you people understand its actually about the music, not the hottness? its ok for you to think they are hot (because they are) but theres no need to go on about it all the time. i mean..go listen to a cd or something. jeez.
