The Scythe

It'll take you too
Take a long time
Limbs will disconnect
Like the phone lines

Keep the water on
Keep it running
I'm in the other room
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
Keep it spinning
Under the LEDs
Till 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

And 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
