lyrics

I look like Hell
Thus ends all the debate, I've changed to embody
That location as of late

I look like Hell
So no need to wonder anymore how it could be
And no need to pity me
Off you go, just move along

'Cause there's a seat down by the ringside
So take one for yourself
And enjoy the show with everybody else

I look like Hell
You should've known it all along, here there's no poetry
I guess ol' Dante got it wrong

I look like Hell
Yea, I brought it on myself, I'm almost as empty
As the bottle on my shelf
Down it goes, just move along

'Cause there's a seat down by the ringside
It's just for you to take
So enjoy, the joke's on me, for Heaven's sake

You know, Hell is not a flame or fire,
For mine have all gone out
It's a mother's one-time pride-and-joy
Just stumbling about

I look like Hell
There's a devil in my heart that's made it fun for me
So let that pity-party start

I look like Hell
You better hit that track advance, I stand by my entry
Before you go, come watch me dance
There's a chance you've had it wrong

Though each seat down by the ringside
Was taken while we spoke
There's a place for you onstage
Can't you see?
Every fool needs a straight man
And man, I need a joke

You know, Hell is not a flame or fire,
For mine have all gone out
It's a mother's one-time pride-and-joy
Just stumbling about
