los campesinos – who fell asleep in lyrics

Loading...

she turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me,
at the back of the chapel where i taught her to screw and to blaspheme.
we turned our backs to the church with our trousers around our knees,
while screaming the scriptures, she said i was her favourite heresy.

in a note i read: “if you should go blind and deaf,
i’ll cleanse and i’ll bathe you and i’ll cook for you daily.
i will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest
all of the same conversations that we have now in bed”.
i don’t mean to be selfish, but i think i’d sooner just be dead.

behind the tennis court, alongside the river, not a single live flower to see.
this is the one girl who woke up from all that and now falls asleep next to me.
but i swear now, every time that i kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder.
it pains me, but i’m sure she’s still yours.

she said she wanted a sea burial, not gr-ss and hypodermics to her hips.
i pruned the ivy from your grandmother’s tomb,
more tender and careful than the superst-tious
ripped you from your mothers womb.

in a note i wrote: “i think too much about the end,
but being around it made me feel like i’m coping.
now when i view the cemetery i don’t see headstones, i see
rows of engraved milk teeth, hungry, waiting for me”.
and though i am fearful, i think i just crave the relief.

behind the tennis court, alongside the river, a paper flower’s still a beautiful thing.
this is the one girl who woke up from all that and now falls asleep next to me.
but i swear now, every time that i kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder.
it pains me, but i’m sure she’s still yours.
