Mark Lanegan

At Zero Below

On a night I can't forget

I burned my love with a cigarette

My telescopic eye had seen

The grass on graves so evergreen

"How would you know", she said

"To choke, to seize in vain to call?"

"What do you know", she said

"Of toxic tears chemical sprawl?"

"How would you know", she said

"To moan, to cry and still to crawl?"

At zero below she's dead

Asleep inside the churchyard wall

In this dream I can't forget

I set an arson fire without a one regret

The camera in my cornea

Took black and whites from my collection of

"Wait'll you see", she said

"That moment just before you fall"

"How much you'll bleed?" she said

"You'll lay there bleeding like a dog"

On a night so gray and wet

Into somebody's face I spit

So angry and illiterate

My inner furnace quickly lit

"You're gonna know", she said

"What they really mean by Hell"

"You're gonna know", she said

"For who they ring that heavy bell"

At zero below and dead

We are together, now and on

In this dream I can't forget

I burned my love with cigarette

The camera of my eye had seen

The grass on graves so evergreen

"You're gonna know", she said

"What they really mean by Hell"

"You're gonna know", she said

"For who they ring that heavy bell"

At zero below and dead

We lay together now and on

We lay together now and on

We lay together now and on

We lay together now and on

We lay together now and on, yeah
