There’s a fire in my brain
And I'm burning up
Oh my
Oh my
keep running for the sink
But the well is dry
Oh my
Oh my
Every word I said is kindling
But the smoke clears when you’re around
Won’t you stay with me
My darling
when my walls start burning down
down down...
...
This house is my name like an elegy
Oh my
Oh my
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
Oh my
Oh my
There still cobwebs in the corners
And the backyard’s full of bones
Won’t you stay with me
My darling
When this house don't feel like home?
When this house don't feel like home?
Oh oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust
The devil’s after both of us
Oh
Lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me
...
This tired old machine is a-rumbling
Oh my
Oh my
Singing songs to the secrets
Behind my eye
Oh my
Oh my
All my aching bones are trembling
And I may yet fall apart
Won’t you stay with me
My darling
When the war starts in my heart?
When the war starts in my heart?
Oh oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust
The devil’s after both of us
Oh
Lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of me
Oh oh oh oh oh
Ashes ashes
Dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Oh
Lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of...
...end...
