Album: Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge (2005)

License This Song 

• Wait until it fades to black
  Ride into the sunset
  Would I lie to you?
  Well, I've got something to say
  Grab your six-guns from your back
  Throttle the ignition
  Would I die for you?
  Well here's your answer in spades
  
  Shotgun sinners
  Wild eyed jokers
  Got you in my sights
  Gun it while I'm holding on
  
  After all is said and done
  Climb out from the pine box
  Well I'm asking you
  'Cause she's got nothing to say
  The angels just cut out her tongue
  Call her black Mariah
  Would I lie to you?
  That girl's not right in the brain
  
  Mass convulsions
  Strike the choir
  By the grace of God
  Gun it while I'm holding on
  
  But don't stop if I fall
  And don't look back
  Oh baby don't stop
  Bury me and fade to black
  
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  So get your gun and meet me by the door
  
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  So get your gun and meet me by the door
  
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  So get your gun and meet me by the door
  
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  She won't stop me put it down
  So baby
  
  Don't stop if I fall
  And don't look back
  Oh baby don't stop
  Bury me and fade to black
  
  Don't stop if I fall
  And don't look back
  Oh baby don't stop
  Bury me and fade to black
  
  Well don't stop Writer/s: Frank Iero, Gerard Way, Matthew Pellisier, Michael Way, Ray Toro

• Lilly from OhioWhat does it say in the background during the lyrics, "She won't stop me, put it down"
• Human from Earth"Don't look back" might br a reference to the story of a Greek God where he tries bringing his spouse out of hell with him but if he looks back at her on the to getting out it won't work. But right when they're about to get out of hell he looks back to help her and they die or something
• Rae from Buxton, NcI cannot get this song out of my head sometimes. At least its awesome instead some sort of Ke$ha crap
• Brian from Alluhrst, Nji love how ruff this song sounds compared to the others on the album
• Ed from Rugby, EnglandAlong with going with the concept I think its also about the acts of love; self-sacrifice, devotion and protection.
• Marte from Ålesund, NorwayAgreed with Frankie. Song is amazing tho.
• Frankie from New York , NyAlthough the band has constantly stated the story line, or rather the "concept", of this album it's hard for me to believe that they wrote the entire album based on a story line. I think that most of these songs came from a personal place and i don't understand why they continue to put up this front about what the album is. Some songs fit perfectly with the concept but others, well they makes no sense. it's like they were thrown in there randomly. As much as i love this album, because i really do, it still confuses me when i have to think about the concept of the album.
• Amber from New York, Ny"dont stop when i fall and dont look back" it obviously signifies tht he's trying to save her
• Carol from Chesterton, Inwow mcr does like to make you think. i love them thier so creative
• Meggo from Baton Rouge, LaThe real story behind the song is the man sacrafices himself to save the woman. They are the "demolition lovers" spoken of earlier on the album. The woman escapes and lives on but the man dies in gunfire. i even found the video.

• Zier from --, Inthis song is so awsome. i could listen to it for an hour...then i'd have to change songs. Courtney...you wouldn't know a good song if it bit you on the ass.
• Tabitha from Brooklyn Park, MdI really like this song, it's one of my favorites. But I don't believe it's about the death of a women and man. I think it's more about a women and man that are trying to get away from someone, like the church. "Don't stop if I fall and don't look back" means that he wants her to keep going even if something bad happens to him, and "bury me and fade to black" means to bury him, but return to her old ways, not to mourn over him. "she won't stop me put it down" sort of means she's not going to interfere in his decisions against the church (or whomever he's running from).
  And btw, My Chemical Romance is my favorite band. :]
• Lili St. Cyr from Iselin, Njthe term is PARIAH, erin. a PARIAH is used to describe any outcast from any institution, not necessarily from a church although this is where the word originated.
• Ilse Serna from Empalme, Sonora, MexicoThis is a great song. You can't really explain how good this song is. So no comment.
• Lena from Wkgn, United Statesthis song.. has a very powerful meaning to it.. very deep..
