Embedded Songtext
von The Triffids

Step a little bit closer
There was something you mentioned under your breath
That′s the something I'd always hoped you′d mention
Say it louder now we'll soon be dead

Tell me, tell me you love me
or else, tell me, tell me you'll bear with me
Tell me, tell me you′ll have me embedded

Come on and lay your body down
Lay your weary body down
Lay your weary bones in the ground
Lay your weary bones in this ground

Step a little bit closer
There is alcohol upon your breath
It′s a certain dirty feeling we have
And heaven knows we've had it to death


Tell me, tell me you love me
or else, tell me, tell me you′ll bear with me
Tell me, tell me you'll have me embedded

This one′s an old dead heart of mine
It's died at least a thousand times
This one will go straight to your head
This one will go straight to the base of your spine

It′s all turning ugly now
Everything we touch wastes clean away
We would kiss but we can't find our lips
We speak, we got nothing to say except

Tell me, tell me you love me
or else, tell me, tell me you'll bear with me
Tell me, tell me you′ll have me embedded
Embalmed and embedded
Becalmed and beheaded

Do I hear your step on the stair?
Do I hear your step on the stair?
And these are the thighs I prize
And these are the eyes I cry
