Only love and false gods live for todayAnd burn down their own sons before the fade awayThe beaten light is crawling now sunk in howling diseaseThat sad gold stone of the dust crawling from us on its kneesThe moon and sun will bust and rust and turn to blood and dustYes I've seen it in my mind's eyeBut they'll never burn and blind and crustLike the tears of rage within your eyesEarly in the morning while the snow still fellUpon our love's grave, babe, and you and I are quite dreamingAnd the slippery moon was the only one to shed a tearWhile we finished the servicesAnd buried a little madness on this earth...downSister, weigh your heartThere really ain't enough gold and blood to get that far aroundIt you ever hang it from the trees for the wolves and stinging beesI'd hack it down and gather it in my arms ...with meOur wild tears embalmed the black skyUntil its guts burst and fell like loaded diceOn our fixed game that plays and plays like murder in the nightAnd sometime late in the cedars and pinesYour life ran from you with the wind on fireAnd you took the arms of a lonely deathEarly in the morning while the snow still fellUpon our love's grave, babe, and you and I are quite dreamingAnd the slippery moon was the only one to shed a tearSongtexteWhile we finished the servicesAnd buried a little madness on this earth...downSister, you laid your trouble downI gathered all your heart that I could holdThe rest of it is gone in the animals and earthIt was best to let it crawl out of your skin,And run Aus Songtexte Mania
