Mama Taught Me Better Lyrics - Beat The Devil's Tattoo - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Can you scream the words I could never hear? 

Can you feel the silence begin to tear? 

But it just takes so much to make it real 

That it hardly matters 

But if you could see inside yourself 

Your world would shatter 

My mama taught me better than that 

Don't play with angels 

If my lost soul could be given back 

It would be fatal 

Can you see a world you've never felt? 

When you sleep the nightmare becomes yourself 

But it just takes so much to make you sick 

When your heart's a bullet 

But if you could fill some lead in me 

You would pass through it 

My Mama taught me better than that 

Don't play with angels 

If my lost soul could be given back 

It would be fatal 

Your soul keeps lifting away 

My world keeps turning 

And it brings me down 

Yeah, it brings me down 

Oh, you're so afflicted 

Your love keeps burning 

But it brings me down 

Yeah, it brings me down 

Can you scream the words I could never hear? 

When you speak the silence begins to tear 

But it just takes so much to make you sick 

When your heart's a bullet 

But if you could reach the edge in me 

You won't break through it 

My mama taught me better than that 

Don't play with angels 

If my lost soul could be given back 

It would be fatal
