The Distillers
The Gallow Is God
[Verse 1]
And now, my heart, it sings
Suicide
And now, my gallows stain
Of black dye
And now, my death march brings
A tear to your eye
And now, the noose, it sways
When you die

[Chorus]
What a surprise
Whoa, what a surprise
What is the price?
What is the prize? Hey
What a surprise
Whoa, what a surprise
What is the price?
What is the prize? Hey!

[Verse 2]
And now, my heart, it splits
What a demise
And now, my gallows stain
Of red dye
And now, the noose, it smiles
When you lie
And now, my womb, it licks
When you dig deep inside
[Chorus]
What a surprise
Whoa, what a surprise
What is the price?
What is the prize? Hey
What a surprise
Whoa, what a surprise
What is your price?
What is the prize? Hey!

[Bridge]
Do you do it? Whoa, yeah
Do you feed it? Whoa, yeah, yeah
Do you sell it? Whoa, yeah
Do you need it? Whoa, yeah

[Breakdown]
In the sun
The willows give you shade
Oh, and how they hang
Like a guillotine blade in the sun
In the sun
The willows give you shade
Oh, and how they hang
Like a guillotine blade in the sun
Like a blade in the sun
Like a blade, ah!
[Outro]
What a surprise
Whoa, whoa, what a surprise
What a surprise
Whoa, whoa, what a surprise
What is the price?
Whoa, whoa, what is the price?
What is the prize?
Whoa, whoa, what is the prize?
