History so strong
History so strong
History so strong
History so strong


Sing another drinking song
The honky-tonk will do
Make another breaking bong
Your favorite ingénue

This, the distant dawn
This, the distant dawn

I put my cards upon the table
I do the speed coz' I am able
One picks his broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population

The pistol and its pawn
Sailing through the Lexicon
The pistol and it's pawn
Blood and border lines withdrawn

Take another bottle down the block
To land the shrew
Make another awful sound
To ride the gothic through

History's so strong
History's so strong

I put my cards upon the table
I do the speed coz' I am able
One picks his broken-down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
Stay all night, we save the population
