And when you slam 
Down the hammer 
Can you see it in your heart? 
All of the rumors 
Keeping me grounded 
I never said, I never said that they were 
Completely unfounded 

So when you slam 
Down the hammer 
Can you see it in your heart? 
Can you delve so low? 
And when you're standing 
On my fingers 
Can you see it in your heart? Ah
And when you try 
To break my spirit 
It won't work 
Because there's nothing left to break 
Anymore 
All of the rumors 
Keeping me grounded 
I never said, I never said that they were 
Completely unfounded 

You won't sleep 
Until the earth that wants me 
Finally has me 
Oh you've done it now 
You won't rest 
Until the hearse that becomes me 
Finally takes me 
Oh you've done it now 
And you won't smile 
Until my loving mouth 
Is shut good and proper 
Forever

All of the rumors 
Keeping me grounded 
I never said, I never said that they were 
Completely unfounded 
And all those lies 
Written lies, twisted lies 
Well, they weren't lies 
They weren't lies 
They weren't lies 

I never said 
I never said 
I could have mentioned your name 
I could have dragged you in 
Guilt by implication 
By association 
I've always been true to you 
In my own strange way 
I've always been true to you 
In my own sick way 
I'll always stay true to you
