GATES Lyrics

Down the hatch to drown my sorrow

The wheels are burning on the chariots that follow me

Kingdom's crumbling but I peek out the rubble

Close the gates, toss the keys and hold me down, oh

Hold me down, oh

Hold me down, oh

Hold me down, oh

I still love the velvet on your throne

Feel it linger while you're casting the first stone

Even got the jester calling me crazy

But nothing you do ever hurts my king and baby, oh

Oh, oh

Even got the jester calling me crazy

But nothing you do ever hurts my king and baby, oh

Oh, hold me down, oh

Now I know what you mean

Now I'm pleading on my knees, oh

Pulling up your sleeves, telling me to count to three, oh

Thinking of your smell, my neck on the guillotine, yeah

It's what I deserve for thinking this could be, yeah

I'd rather be shot three times while all on beat, yeah

If this can't be real, then at least my coffin's deep, yeah

Even got the jester calling me crazy

But nothing you do ever hurts my king and baby, oh

Oh, hold me down, oh
