Fixxxer Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dolls of voodoo all stuck with pins
One for each of us and our sins
So you lay us in a line
Push your pins, they make us humble
Only you can tell in time
If we fall or merely stumble

[Chorus]
But tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain-free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

[Verse 2]
Mirror, mirror, upon thy wall
Break the spell or become the doll
See you sharpening the pins
So the holes will remind us

We're just the toys in the hands of another
And in time, the needles turn from shine to rust
[Chorus]
But tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?


Tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain-free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

Jab it
Here come the pins

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Blood for face, sweat for dirt
Three Xs for the stone
To break this curse, a ritual's due
I believe I'm not alone
Shell of shotgun, pint of gin
Numb us up to shield the pins

Renew our faith which way we can
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love with life again
To fall in love, to fall in love
To fall in love with life again

[Chorus]
So tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?

Yeah tell me, can you heal what Father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine and I'm pain-free
You jab another pin, jab another pin in me

[Outro]
No more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more pins in me
No more, no more, no more
No, no, no!
