Been a week with the banshees
Frozen in the mud pit as they scream
Hypnotised by the wide mouths
Swallowing the dense sky prophecies
Hurt creeping up behind us
Seven clean days of raging lust
Queer clovers line up their young
Parrying the daggers thrown at us
When it's time
To lay me in the ground
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I'll be
(Hoo hoo hoo)
(Hoo hoo hoo)
Cut off from the real world
Wire was cut before we woke
We can live a little freer girl
Burn all ya clothes now we're wild folk
Take ya trust and wrap it up babe
In Mother's woven blanket made for this
I'll guard it with my life ay
A fist to save the diamonds in your finger tips
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Shapes wander in the black
Chills down my spine
Take all I ever had
She'll still be mine
Coz when you know you know, you know
Yeah when you know you know
When you know you know, you know
Yeah when you know you know
Coz when you know you know, you know
Yeah when you know you know
Coz when you know you know, you know
Yeah when you know you know
And when it's time
To lay me in the ground, ground
Lay me down
On the point
Beneath the sand
Beneath the sand
Is where I'll be
(Hoo hoo hoo)
(Hoo hoo hoo)
When it's time
To lay me in the ground, ground
No weight
Of the earth
Can hold me down
Not when you're around
(Hoo hoo hoo)
(Hoo hoo hoo)
Reflections in the mirror
Don't recognise the man I saw
But I'm glowing when I hear her
Speak to me the way she always did before
