| See my skin peel away right off of my head
|
| Look at my cheeks all pulpy and red
|
| They’re the same cheeks you kissed when I was a kid
|
| So long, so long ago.
|
| See my little shriveled hands like the claws of a bird
|
| I know it sounds crazy, I know it seems absurd
|
| But they’re the same hands that touched you and drove you insane
|
| So long, so long ago.
|
| These bones: take them in your arms
|
| This skin: touch it one more time.
|
| I may be dead, but you’re still mine.
|
| See my curled up lips pucker up for a kiss
|
| See my brittle little hips, see my bony fingertips
|
| These same fingers were crossed when I said ‘til death do us part'
|
| So long, so long ago.
|
| And look at my hair — it’s out of control, it keeps growing and growing and oh
|
| my soul
|
| Is trapped in this box and I can’t do nothing, I’m down in this hole
|
| My eyes may be gone but I can still hear every word you whisper in some other
|
| ear
|
| But soon you’ll be down here and we’ll be together again.
|
| These bones: take them in your arms
|
| This skin: touch it one more time.
|
| I may be dead, but you’re still mine. |
