My friend, well he walked me down these roads I've never known
The salvation of my soul, myself the only goal
There were pleasures I thought I'd seen, some I never knew
There were people dressed in rainments of an uncertain hue
The chances I thought I'd had, many I'd missed
There were devils bearing gifts and angels on the piss

For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?

On the first day I met myself coming back from the third
I believed in what I was doing, I swallowed every word
Every word that I was told by the Great and the Good
I bit the poisoned apple 'cause I felt that I should

For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
When I die...

And now that I come to it, I can recall
What it was I achieved just before my fall
I saw visions of ugliness, I visited shame
But I know should I come to it
I'd do it all again
For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here that's never wondered why
And I've lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?

'Cause I've lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
When I die...

And will nobody that was ever here grieve me when I die?
