Embedded-The Triffids

Step a little bit closer There was something you mentioned under your breath That's the something I'd always hoped you'd mention Say it louder now we'll soon be dead Tell me tell me you love me Or else tell me tell me you'll bear with me Tell me tell me you'll have me embedded Come on and lay your body down Lay your weary body down Lay your weary bones in the ground Lay your weary bones in this ground Step a little bit closer There is alcohol upon your breath It's a certain dirty feeling we have And heaven knows we've had it to death Tell me tell me you love me Or else tell me tell me you'll bear with me Tell me tell me you'll have me embedded This one's an old dead heart of mine It's died at least a thousand times This one will go straight to your head This one will go straight to the base of your spine It's all turning ugly now Everything we touch wastes clean away We would kiss but we can't find our lips We speak we got nothing to say except Tell me tell me you love me Or else tell me tell me you'll bear with me Tell me tell me you'll have me embedded Embalmed and embedded Becalmed and beheaded Do I hear your step on the stair Do I hear your step on the stair And these are the thighs I prize And these are the eyes I cry
