[Verse 1] Velvet on the headstone Black lace dragging through the dew Your fingers trace my collarbone Cold earth breathing under you Candlewax on chipped gray names Dripping down the carved-out years You kiss the dust from off my chains Tongue tasting rust and quiet fears [Chorus] Make love in the grave While the dead keep our secret Let the soil behave Like a sheet as you sink in Every gasp Every shiver Buried deeper Misbehaving In your arms I go weaker As we make love in the grave [Verse 2] Lipstick smeared on marble lips You pull me where the flowers rot Shadow roses brush my hips Every thorn a perfect thought You say my name like last rites Low and slow against my throat I ride your breath in broken light Let the cracked stone take our oath [Chorus] Make love in the grave While the dead keep our secret Let the soil behave Like a sheet as you sink in Every gasp Every shiver Buried deeper Misbehaving In your arms I go weaker As we make love in the grave [Bridge] Grind the hunger through my spine (oh) Grave dust caught in every sigh If this is sin Then draw the line Right here Where we both die [Chorus] Make love in the grave While the dead keep our secret Let the soil behave Like a sheet as you sink in Every gasp Every shiver Buried deeper Misbehaving In your arms I go weaker As we make love in the grave
