The Gravedigger’s Song
[Verse 1]
With piranha teeth
I've been dreaming of you
And the taste of your love, so sweet
Honest, it's true
[Verse 2]
Through my heart flows sleep
And the dog-heavy rain
Where the gravedigger's song is sung
You've been torturing me
[Chorus 1]
Tout est noir, mon amour
Tout est blanc
Je t'aime, mon amour
Comme j'aime la nuit
[Verse 3]
Love, is the medicine good?
Is the crow flying eight miles high
Over wire and wood?
[Verse 4]
Shovel down six feet
With a head-heavy pain
The magnolia blooms so sweet
And it fades just the same
[Chorus 2]
To the stars, my love
To the sea
To the wheels, my love
'Til they roll all over me
[Verse 5]
Oh love, I've been thinking of you
With razor white teeth so sharp
Honest, it's true
[Verse 6]
In my blood flows sleep
And the dog-heavy rain
The magnolia blooms so sweet
Only torturing me
[Chorus 3]
To the stars, my love
To the sea
To the wheels, my love
'Til they roll all over me
