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 say 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 says my name like an elegy
Oh my oh my
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
Oh my oh my
There's 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 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 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 ashes ashes dust to dust
Tell me I am good enough
Oh lay my curses out to rest
Make a mercy out of
