Black Bulbs
It rains and it pours and it dries and it cracks
Spills the salt and breaks my mothers' back
'The meat doesn't fall far from the bone' they said
It spoils and seeps into the bed
Black bulbs
Flicker above my head
Black bulbs
Cut me down, paint me dead
I'm saving my face and I'm resting my case
I'm wearing the skin from beneath my staircase
I'm dust and I'm mould and I rot from the cold
A leather salute and I'll never grow old
Black bulbs
Flicker above my head
Black bulbs
Cut me down, paint me dead
Cut me down, paint me dead
The hooks in me aren't red alone
They carve beneath the flesh and bone
'Only the greats get to die young' they said
It echoes alone in my hollow head
Black bulbs
Flicker above the dead
Black bulbs
The end of the tunnel is a wall instead
Spills the salt and breaks my mothers' back
'The meat doesn't fall far from the bone' they said
It spoils and seeps into the bed
Black bulbs
Flicker above my head
Black bulbs
Cut me down, paint me dead
I'm saving my face and I'm resting my case
I'm wearing the skin from beneath my staircase
I'm dust and I'm mould and I rot from the cold
A leather salute and I'll never grow old
Black bulbs
Flicker above my head
Black bulbs
Cut me down, paint me dead
Cut me down, paint me dead
The hooks in me aren't red alone
They carve beneath the flesh and bone
'Only the greats get to die young' they said
It echoes alone in my hollow head
Black bulbs
Flicker above the dead
Black bulbs
The end of the tunnel is a wall instead
