lyrics

WE'LL DANCE ON YOUR GRAVE


I’ve decided I love you, see
Your bride it does seem nice to be
But you’re terribly mean
And I’m merrily meek
So its best we live in silence
Put some ground between our romance

I’ve a place in the vally of nis
Where you can lie, happily
We’ll bury you deep
A topiary I’ll keep
Green at the top of your grave
Beneath I know you’ll behave

I’ll plant tulips down at your feet
Purple like lonely hearts with secrets to keep
The moon will shine bright
With an unsteady light
The tulips will dance
It’s a shadow romance

You may think our love macabre
That I visit his grave pretending to sob
But his unmarked grave
Is the ring that enslaves
The perfect matrimony
I know that he’s not lonely

CHORUS

Oh, we’ll dance on your grave
Me on the top
And you below safe
Oh we’ll dance on your grave
For I love you so
It’s just better this way

I’ll place my head on the grasses
Above your wooden casket
Pound my fists on the ground
And listen for the sound
Of your
Tap tap tapping, you were only napping
What joy it will bring
To hear your heart beat
And rise up six feet

CHORUS

Oh, we’ll dance on your grave
Me on the top
And you below safe
Oh we’ll dance on your grave
For I love you so
It’s just better this way
