The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm serenaded by a chorus

of 1,000 burning cigarettes.

You were taking chances, mama

while I've been placing bets.

So tell it to the ashes

they know we've served.

It may be good for the soul

but it's hard on the nerves.

The very thing that drives you

can drive you insane.

I've got a head full of thought crimes

and a number with no name.

Got an eleventh hour Jesus

and a mouth full of blame.

Casket lined with silver dollars

and a number with no name.

Number with no name.

There's no where to run

I've got no one to tell.

My face has become a mask

and I'm not wearing it well.

For 5 days straight I've been breathing fire.

Don't have room on my body for another scar.

The very thing that drives you

can drive you insane.

I've got a head full of thought crimes

and a number with no name.

Got an eleventh hour Jesus

trying to explain.

Casket lined with silver dollars

and a number with no name.

A number with no name.
