Lyrics for The Gravedigger's Song

With piranha teeth I been dreaming of you And the taste of your love so sweet Honest, it's true Through my heart flows sleep And the dark heavy rain Where the gravedigger's song is sung You've been torturing me Tout est noir, mon amour Tout est blanc Je t'aime, mon amour Comme j'aime la nuit 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 'Til they roll all over me Oh love I been thinking of you With razor white teeth so sharp Honest its true In my blood flows sleep And the dark heavy rain The magnolia blooms so sweet Only torturing me To the stars my love To the sea To the wheels my love 'Til they roll all over me
