Winter got to them while leaning their bodies against the wallThe bathtub-settle-down felt the water going down the drainAs they put their heads to sleep and dreamt of leaving it all behindThe thousands of people they pass in the street made them nervousThough spring was a kid, they grasp him by the rootsand his arm like plants torn from one anotherSudden death - dinner's setall the words in the air are chairs and tables breaking boneand he'd love to settle down, but everyone stares at death as if it would lead to foreign ground, my friend,and he likes to dream about the worms, my dear!Swept in his blood - all the flowers are kept in his coffinOh, the dread you can see in their eyesas he tells them to praise all their black fear.He says: "Hospitals, you're just a kidney,a uterus, liver and blood, dear."Talking to God, you're just souls with a body - a dirty machine to wearBeat the drum, oh restless son,Dancing in your coffin they will claim your past.Paint his face, they say, he was my love!Dancing in his coffin he beats the drumThere's a ghost in my closet, oh restless son,there's a door in the darkness, there's a beating heart,but all my love is pushed awayThere's a ghost in my closet - a big black heart pounding on Aus Songtexte Mania
