Swans - The Body Lover слова песни
At last it`s coming up, the sunThe bodysnatcher`s day be goneWith blackened teeth and ruddy skinAnd swigging long upon his ginHe`s weak with his breaking backThe corpse he carries in his sack.The bulging burlap caked with clayIs foul yet musky from where it layBeside his shovel, oh precious rubbleInside her cold and lonely graveThe mournful wind sings songs of praise: How lovely she in her blue dress Behold the tempting virgin flesh Her sunken eyes filled with blind grace Her shrunken lips with secret tastes ..For raven hair in tangles coiledUpon white satin, he hath toiled.He`d held her dainty feet and sighed... The downy smooth upon her thighsAnd wrapped within his fraying scarfOne little heart floats in a jar...Swaying quiet now lifts his headThis robber stops to toast the deadAnd pray will he in town lust waitsFor paid he`ll be by pounds just weighed...This night he`ll roam the streets of mudHe`s slushing down these roads of bloodTonight he`ll own the meat and mudThis night he`ll roam the streets of mudHE`S SLUSHING DOWN THESE ROADS OF BLOODTonight he`ll own the meat and mudHE`LL DRINK THESE STREETSHE`LL EAT THIS BLOODHow lovely she in her blue dressBehold the tempting virgin fleshRavished only by one calledDeath
