The Last Dinner Party - Inferno Lyrics

The Last Dinner Party Lyrics

"Inferno"

I'm Jesus Christ
I'm swinging
In a gallery in France
I'm the guillotine
I'm terrified
There will be no second chance

And cowardice is prettiest in a nice dress
From high command, I feel the need
To confess

In the morning
In the evening
I keep trying, Lord, I'm trying
In the morning
In the evening
I keep trying, Lord, I'm trying

But I've never known myself
But then I've never claimed to know
I do this for my health
Breathing the dust
Of an inferno
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I'm Joan of Arc
I'm dying
Just waiting for your call
I'm watching The Real Housewives
And crawling up the walls

This heart of mine's a glorified abscess
In high demand, I feel the need
To confess

In the morning
In the evening
I keep trying, Lord, I'm trying

But I've never been myself
And that, I've always seemed to know
And I'm drinking to your health
Drinking the dust
Of an inferno
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've never seen myself
And I hope I never know
I'm nothing but a shell
Nothing but dust
In an inferno
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
