The Scythe

by The Last Dinner Party

Lyrics
It'll take you too, mm
Take a long time
Limbs will disconnect, mm
Like the phone lines
Keep the water on, mm
Keep it running
I'm in the other room, mm
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, mm
Keep it spinning
Under the LEDs, mm
'Til 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

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
