Lyrics Ballad of the Breakneck Bride - Monkey Swallows The Universe

Ballad of the Breakneck Bride

We’ve been drivin' since midnight and my eyes want to close
(I love drivin' with you)
But your laughter is spurrin' me on
(I can’t wait to get where we’re going)
So darlin' drive faster so the wind’s in my hair
(I will drive faster my girl)
Or we’ll never reach the chapel at all
Your father can’t catch us, he’s still fast asleep
(Daddy can’t take me from you)
He won’t even know that you’re gone
(If I’m bound by God to your side)
So darlin' drive faster, I’m hearing him call
(I will drive faster my girl)
Or we’ll never reach the chapel at all
We were drivin' so quick, all the world was a blur
I was goin' too fast to control
And the last thing I heard was that sweet voice of yours
As you screamed and you cried
When we crashed and we died
And we never reached the chapel at all
They buried our bodies in separate grounds
For they didn’t believe in our love
We could still be together if each other we find
We can meet at the chapel after all
Your father can’t catch us while he’s still alive
(Daddy can’t take you from me)
He won’t know we’re married at all
(If I’m bound in death to your side)
So I’ll walk through the darkness and the shadows my girl
(I'll walk through the darkness, I will)
And we’ll meet at the chapel after all
Yes, we’ll meet at the chapel after all
