lyrics

Mamma, the time has come
To pray for my salvation
Mathilda has returned
Bartender, put away the beer
Tonight I’m gonna drink my tears
Mathilda has returned
Ask the maid if she hear what I sad
Tell her to change the sheets on the bed
Mathilda has returned
My friends, please don’t leave me tonight
Tonight I’m going back to fight
Wretched Mathilde’s in sight

My heart, my heart, stop beating so
Act as if you didn’t know
Mathilda has returned
My heart, please stop repeating
That she’s prettier now than in spring
Mathilda has returned
My heart, my heart, please just stop
Remember how she once tore you up
Mathilda has returned
My friends, don’t go away
Tell me, tell me, that you’ll stay
Wretched Mathilda’s here today

And you, my hands, please stay down
It’s a bitch that’s come back to town
Mathilda has returned
And you, my hands, put down your fists
And hope to god it won’t come to this
Mathilda has returned
And you, my hands, please don’t shake
Remember all of our heartache
Mathilda has returned
And you, my hands, don’t allow
And you, my arms, don’t open out
Sacred Mathilde’s coming now

Now…

Mama, stop your prayers as well
Your baby boy’s gone back to hell
Mathilda’s returned to me
Bartender, bring us champagne
The one you’ve saved for a special day
Mathilda’s returned to me
Ask the maid if she hear what I sad
Tell her to change the sheets on the bed
Mathilda’s returned to me
My friends, don’t look for me anymore
I’m up here spitting at heaven’s door
Now that Mathilda’s here once more
Once more
