Alkaline Trio - The Torture Doctor Lyrics

Alkaline Trio Lyrics

"The Torture Doctor"

The torture doctor is in
Back here to confess his sins
Knowing damn well he was dead wrong
And I can't believe my eyes
Trouble and regret haunt my mind
I'll let you take the whole thing down
Brick by brick tonight

And there's a devil dancing in my head
As I'm hovering above your bed

Hey, Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey, Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey, Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey, Ho - Down here on the South Side

I was the worst of my kind
I left my old life behind
Can't believe I got away with it so long
At the end of the day
There is nothing to say
So tired of being wired wrong, all my life

And there's a devil dancing in my head
As I'm hovering above your bed

Hey, Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey, Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey, Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey, Ho - Down here on the South Side
Down on the South Side

Hey, Ho - We know how this story goes
Hey, Ho - The plot it thickens and grows
Hey, Ho - There's nothing left to hide
Hey, Ho - Down here on the South Side
Down on the South Side
Down on the South Side
