LYRICS:
let's begin, I am ready let's begin
sell my soul to him
shed my skin, I just wanna shed my skin
I don't wanna sell my soul to him
mechanize, city bursts and farmers die
they cry, sell my soul to him
sleep face down in a goods train heading south in the rain
sell my soul to him
in this world I often think you'd understand me
in these words I often think you'd recognize me
'cause I just wanna swim with the fish in the sea
and I want faith to heal so that I can be clean
[solo]
[insert Peter's rant here]
I just wanna celebrate
I'm not going to sell my soul to him
when you look right in
sell my soul to him
you're gonna come on done
sell my soul to him
sell my soul to him
End.
