But I still hate god and I still see your ghost
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
But I still wake up; I still sing your gospel
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Five minutes in and I'm born again
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Here they come again Hugh Jackman style
Here they come again to jack my style
I found a mortar in my bed tonight
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
I found a mother in my bed tonight
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
I found water in my bed tonight
I found a martyr in my bed tonight

I know you're trying to forget

Washed my hands of God for this?
I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I still see up close
I still see your ghost
I still see your gospel, oh Lord
I still see your ghost, oh Lord
I still sing Your gospel, Lord
I still see your ghost, oh Lord
My heart is breaking for my sister in the car that she blew up.
I found a farmer in my bed tonight.
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love".
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
Some Nights I stay up, cussing in my bathtub!
Some Nights I stay up, cashing in my bad luck!

Cashing in my bad luck.
Some nights I stay up casting in my bad luck
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
I'm not sure why I thought Fun. would be using fishing as a metaphor.
Some nights I stay up cursing all my bad luck
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I stay up, splashin' in my bathtub!
Some nights I stay up, cashing in my bad luck!
Some nights I wish that mice could build a castle
Some nights I wish my lips could build a castle
They sound like a swastika-a
They sound like a swan, so come on
