lyrics

a spell to keep you from feeling well
i overheard and you’ve got a lot to learn
let’s start with that pocket book
there’s someone here I think you oughta meet
a girl like you don’t come around here too much
there’s a few who will want a piece
six for the butcher / seven for the son
left her head split open and did it just for fun
thirty for satan / forty for her kill
sunday is for resting but we know they never will
who else?
that’s right ten for the blushing bride / we’re taking bets
she bleeds on her wedding night
so now, your attention please
this world can be such a dark, dark place
we’ll put your sweet mind at ease
it just takes a bit of counting but we think you’ll get it right sweet death / won’t you give us a chance
i bet / you’d fucking love it here
this world can be such a dark, dark place
we can give you something that can make it clear
six broken teeth / seven snake eyes
that will keep you going till the pale horse rides
four for the ferry / if it ever comes
one will take you down / if it ever does
eight for your mother / nine for your dad
forty for the life that you never had
sixty for the casket / eighty for the dirt
now close your eyes and say a prayer that it doesn’t hurt
my dear / I hope it’s getting clear the world above
can’t help you here my love / I’ll take your tired hands in mine and bring you over to the other side
sweet death in my arms at last / close your eyes and it won’t hurt at all down here your bones are crystal clear / every worm will eat to get its fill sweet death won’t you give us a chance / i bet you’d fucking love it here this world can be such a dark, dark place
we can give you something that can make it clear
my child don’t you go around thinking / that you might get out of here tonight this life can be such an awful fight
still so many here who want a bite
