lyrics

I met this
Gravediggers's woman
You know, she got
The boneyard blues
Knows all about me
And thinks we're fools
I said
Can you give us something
To help us jump on moon
She just laughed and said
Well, I've got a pistol in my bed

Right about midnight
I thought it was noon
Her head was shining
Strawberries were in bloom
I gazed in wonder
My heart was beating
Upside down
Take your time and wonder, baybe
Then she said
I've seen so many dead
You know, your hair ain't bad

Please don't kiss me, you know
I don't make bed
I make grave

I kissed her
Said, baybe I don't care
I know a gipsy who will
Make me undead
Can you tell me, baybe
Is this ashtray a grave

She said, I've been to
Doctors and the medicine men
Asked them to make me medication, please
They did nothing, so I begged on my knees
And then the nurse comes in
Gives me sugar cane
She said, five times a day, just dig a grave
Pour whiskey in it and pray for rain
When I wanted to speak, she disappeared
I said baybe, baybe I need your love to unload my brain
I need your kisses not to go insane
I need your kisses not to go insane

You know, priests they say
You gotta be dead to live
By the first sunlight, I'm gonna make you a kid
She says, is this a bid
Can we do it in Madrid
What about your man, I said
How will he handle that
She said, ain't got no man
I'm all alone

Then my mind was blown
My soul did moan
Great life runnin'
In each and every bone
Take this stone and throw it in a grave

Maybe God will think: Oooh, it's they
We'll be free then
Headin' to the bay
Where sky is never grey
No ashtrays are graves
