The Triffids - Embedded lyrics

Step a little bit closer There was something you mentioned under your breath That's the special something I'd always hoped you'd mention Say it louder now we'd soon be dead CHORUS: Tell me, tell me you love me Or else, tell me, tell me you'll bear with me Hold me, tell me you'll have me, embedded Come on and lay your body down Your weary body down Lay your weary bones in the 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 d**h CHORUS: This heart is a good one and dead This one's an old dead heart of mine It's died at least x 1000 times This one will go straight to your head This one will go straight to the base of your spine Ifs all turning ugly now Everything we touch wastes clean away We'd kiss but we can't find our lips We speak when we know we have nothing to say Except CHORUS: Embalmed and Embedded Becalmed and beheaded Do I hear your step on the stair And these are the thighs I prize And these are the eyes I cry
