Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Conscripted by the updraft The dust, it eddies around our shoes As we walk our last steps To the edge of town To where they will raise us up Before they put us in the ground And you'll swing and I'll snap Down by the border they are singing our praises Oh and how quickly we'd sold each other out For just one more night To hate our fucking selves Nose to nose and cheek to cheek You whispered softly to me "I don't want to be your disease And you're dead to me" Hide all the children's eyes so they won't go blind Keep the women folk locked inside You don't want them to see us As we go marching on by Or hear the sound of your neck I'll swing, you'll snap Down past the border they are singing our praises I'll swing and you my dear You'll fucking snap Oh, you look so beautiful right now Just before they put you In the fucking ground Nose to nose and cheek to cheek You whispered softly to me "I don't want to be your machine And your dead to me" Coming on down All the way down There'll be no dead ringers In the graveyard tonight Oh, come on baby Won't you get up and swing We are the perfect reason For all this suffering So hey, hey, hey Let us fucking swing
