I Never Told You What I Do For A Living Lyrics

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

The album is a story of a man and a woman. They both die - the man goes to hell and the woman goes to heaven. The man then makes a deal with the Devil that if he brings 1000 evil souls to the Devil he can be with his wife again. As the last song on the album, this tells the conclusion of their story:
"And we'll all dance alone to the tune of your death
we'll love again, we'll laugh again
and it's better off this way
and never again, and never again
they gave us two shots to the back of the head
and we're all dead now."

This is the last song on the album, and it is his last night of killing before his deal with the devil will be completed and he can see his lover again, hence the lyrics, "Another night and I'll see you" because he is almost done collecting 1000 souls. All the killing that he has done has made him feel dirty and the "stain that won't come off the sheets" is referring to something that he'll never be able to forget. He thinks the devil has lied to him, and he didn't send him to his lover, but he feels that he should stop killing now as they'll eventually meet again in another life. The devil ruined his plans of being with his wife and metaphorically shot him twice in the back of the head, and now they're both dead.
