Lyrics for The Scythe

It'll take you, too, mm Take a long time Limbs will disconnect, mm Like the phone lines Keep the water on, mm Keep it running I'm in the other room, mm Nothing happened Make it quick Make it quick Make it quick, so I can't see the scythe in its sheath Don't cry, we're bound together Each life runs its course I'll see you in the next one Next time I know you'll call I'll put your record on, mm Keep it spinning Under the LEDs, mm 'Til I'm seasick Nothing lasts Nothing lasts Nothing lasts, I know I've seen the scythe in its sheath Don't cry, we're bound together Each life runs its course I'll see you in the next one Next time, I know you'll call Next time you call, I'll be your girl You'll be in silk, and I'll wear my furs We can go out, I feel your mouth Open me up, butcher my heart Please let me die on the street where you live Don't cry, lie here forever Let life run its course I'll be here in the next one Next time, you know I'll call Don't cry, we're bound together Each life runs its course I'll see you in the next one Next time I know you'll call Don't cry, we're bound together Each life runs its course I'll see you in the next one Next time, I know you'll call
