"I drank the rivers and the seas.
I burned the mountains and the trees.
I went too far.
I ran too long.
Stole the gold from angels song.
Washed my star in gasoline.
Threw it in a sewer drain.
Lied about the only thing that I have ever loved.

I broke the hearts of little girls.
I solved the problems of the world.
I mixed the future with the past.
Kicked religion in the ass.
Shot another evil man.
Took his wife to bed again.
I have found the cure for time, but you will have to wait.
Hey, dont put me down.
Im a hopeful sinner, drowning swimmer, cheating winner, lying skinner.
Im a sinner, Im a sinner, Im a sinner and I hope I never change.

If I can write the history books.
If I can learn the secret looks.
If I can see the hidden partthe ring of fire around your heart.
If I was just an idiot Id have the sense to ask the what.
To ask the why. To ask the who.
To question God and question you.
Hey, dont put me down.
Im a hopeful sinner, drowning swimmer, cheating winner, lying skinner.
Im a sinner, Im a sinner, Im a sinner and I hope I never change.

I hid behind the twisted tree and gathered every part of me.
I wiped the sweat out of my eyes and stared into the dying skies and then I killed the only thing that I have ever loved.
Im a hopeful sinner, drowning swimmer, cheating winner, lying skinner"
