[Verse 1]
Rolling in on some town again
Some place I hope I’ve never been
Strange faces all around. Who will
Listen in silence to me? Not to silence the crowd
It’s just another escape for someone’s mistake
And since my life’s just a waste, I can usually relate

[Chorus]
Place me at blame for your problems
When Hell opens its gates, I’ll just fall in
Sing a song for me, monkey, take me there
And give me the answer of why I’m here
Play a sweeter melody, don’t you pretend
Sing about that memory so I’ll fit in—right in

[Verse 2]
Swollen hands hardly holding things, keep on
Holding onto what pain this brings
Strange places aren’t so strange
We’ve been there before. Our story’s the same
It’s just another escape for someone’s mistake
And since my life’s just a waste, I can usually relate

[Chorus]
Place me at blame for your problems
When Hell opens its gates, I’ll just fall in
Sing a song for me, monkey, take me there
And give me the answer of why I’m here
Play a sweeter melody, don’t you pretend
Sing about that memory so I’ll fit in—right in

[Interlude]
Oh, love. There’s one thing:

[Chorus]
Place me at blame for your problems
When Hell opens its gates, I’ll just fall in
Sing a song for me, monkey, take me there (Take me there)
And give me the answer of why I’m here
Play a sweeter melody, don’t you pretend
Sing about that memory ‘til I give in—right in
Sing a song for me, monkey, take me there
And give me the answer of why I’m here
Play a sweeter melody, don’t you pretend
Sing about that memory so I’ll fit in—right in
