lyrics

PENNIES ON YOUR EYES
will you let this creature
into your heart?
you’ve craved that golden kennel
right from the start.
will you walk with me
the lonely mile?
let the devil tune your guitar,
you’re only a child.

i want the pennies on your eyes
i want the pennies on your eyes
and it is such a beautiful night
these are the tears that never dry

will you share
my night of mortal sin?
we’ll coil beneath the smoke
and the burning wind.
will you walk with me
the murder mile?
let the devil tune your guitar,
you’re only a child.

these are the pennies on your eyes
these are the pennies on your eyes
and it is such a beautiful night
these are the tears that never dry
i want the pennies on your eyes
i want the pennies on your eyes
these are the tears that never dry
these are the tears that never dry

YONDER LIE THE RUINS
her veil is black
as the crows of december
the girl’s got a laugh
it’ll leave you dismembered
she’s gone in search
of the man with the arrows
she’s got no time for the
straight and narrow
shes got no time for the
straight and narrow come on

we spend our lives grieving
cradle to grave
yonder lie the ruins
your baby’s gone away
the gallows stretch
up to the sky
are you too young
to wonder why now?
are you too young
to wonder why?

her veil is black
as the crows of december
in her little black heart
she will always remember
the tattoo on her wrist says
“a life of sorrow”
she’s got no time
for the straight and narrow
she’s got no time
for the straight and narrow

this little town is filthy
no you’re the one that’s filthy
i’ve been hoping that you’d
kill me
i’ve been hoping that you’d kill me
