Death Came

Old Lights

Oh, when death came knocking on your door
you were scared at first, but now,
the thought of returning to the earth
gives you quiet peace, somehow.
When the priest came up to your room it was truth he was trying to sell,
but you both knew he didn't know what he was talking about.

When I left the great love of my life,
well I had to be cold as hell.
If you want to know what death feels like ask her,
because she can tell.
I had epileptic seizures running through my tongue and mouth,
so she never understood what I was talking about.

Have you ever had your poor heart broke? Have you ever finished last?
Have you ever cut your arms in far where your throat will be at last?
because you can't feel no pain at all if it hurts less than the past.
We both know only love can make this last.
So I'm taking off my clothes tonight but I'll be alone in bed.
No matter just how far we've come we're always hanging by a thread.

And I've seen young […] women in a playboy center spread,
I'm going to love you and hope you love me 'till the end.
I'm going to love you and hope you'll love me 'till the end.
