strawfoot - churchyard cough lyrics

Loading...

oh, come and sit beside me and i’ll share a dreadful tale
a sickly twisted metaphor and moonlight fallen pale
a morbid sense of tragedy of endless [?]
of pyre’s burnin’ day an’ night and buzzards circlin’ near

swing around the rosie, put a blossom in the air
dance the devil’s promenade, say a final prayer
raise a gl-ss to heaven, say you knew me well
take another drink, my friend, say one last farewell
take another drink, my friend, say one last farewell

time is inconsistent when you’re waitin’ for the end
like writin’ scarlet letters you know you’ll never send
too late to flee, too late to pray — the devil’s drawin’ near
a telltale sign so obvious for everyone to hear

swing around the rosie, put a blossom in the air
dance the devil’s promenade, say a final prayer
raise a gl-ss to heaven, say you knew me well
take another drink, my friend, say one last farewell
take another drink, my friend, say one last farewell

a caveat so ominous it comes as no surprise
a churchyard cough here shadows us all with no reprise
black lungs, black eyes, a banshee wails to everyone in town
black clouds, black death outside our doors — we all fall down!

swing around the rosie, put a blossom in the air
dance the devil’s promenade, say a final prayer
raise a gl-ss to heaven, say you knew me well
take another drink, my friend, say one last farewell
take another drink, my friend, to follow me to h-ll!
