Lyrics The Lemonheads

The Lemonheads

Black Gown

I wanna lie down and listen

I wanna lie down and listen

I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown

So you cry now and you're pacing

Feel your town might need erasing

You gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown

Is it really true

He has passed away

Neither I or you can really say

We were fast asleep

just the other day

I'd been dreaming about the bales of house high hay

We went and climbed that day

If it ain't fixed, don't break it

When the pain pricks you can take

Kill a werewolf wooden you stake it

Bring the sky down while we're waiting

Put a line out or cut bacon

Drop a dime now for satan

Where's your black gown?

If you find our you're mistaken

Give exactly what you're taking

When it's time to throw the rake in

I wanna lie down and listen

I wanna lie down and listen

I gotta lie down and isn't that your black gown
