With my estranged religion

Referring to a sense of detachment from conventional religious beliefs.

I've been chain smoken cigarettes

Don't want you to believe me

I'm the son of a preacher

Identifying a familial background with a preacher but distancing from angelic purity.

Ain't no angels in my head

You're preachin' snow-white

But the stain on your switchblade's red

So don't expect no roses

I never had much class

Don't want Mona Lisa

All I want is your trash

In my veins

Make it last

For days

Want your beast

Need your rage

Feel you burnin' up, sister

In my veins

Devil diggin' deeper

I'm still hangin' by a thread

Don't be talkin' about love

Don't you know that superstition's dead

So don't expect no flash

All I want is your trash
