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