Destroy Yourself

Promise me you won't cry
When the curtain hits the crowd
And nobody takes a bow
Oh promise you'll hold your head up high
When the curtain hits the cast
And the audence just laughs
And when you go out
Destroy yourself
Destroy yourself in the getaway dress
On red roller skates
On those getaway stakes
Don't take any prisoners
And before you cash out
Take 'em down one by one
Take 'em down one by one
Oh, promise

Promise me, you'll be mean
On the day they lay me down
You'll send someone else
To leave just one rose for me
Oh, someone, somebody i couldn't stand
Do it in style
Just send him there straight from your bed
Where the possibilities of what is crewl is endless
And when you've had enough
Destroy yourself
Destroy yourself in a long black dress
With a long black veil
And a broken mess
Don't cry no tears for me
Go to the medicine cabinet
Take 'em down one by one
Take 'em down one by one
Take 'em down one by one
Take 'em down one by one
Oh, promise...
