"Scuzzy and me... we spend a lot of time in grave yards..." "This one's an old grave-digger's song..." "Perfume... on the Bones!" [Verse 1] They called me in past midnight, said the bones was strewn like dice A hundred shattered ribcages, not a heart in any slice Been diggin’ forty winters, thought I’d seen every war But there was somethin’ in this carnage I ain’t never felt before… [Verse 2] The spines were split like wishbones, the skulls wore crooked grins Sword cuts like poetry, claw marks deep as sins And everywhere I shoveled, there was scent still on the breeze— Like smoke, and booze, and violets, and the hum of honeybees… Ohhhhhh, ohhhhh [Chorus] I don’t know her name, but I do know her wrath She danced through the dead like a fevered bonepath I ain’t scared of the devil, I’ve seen his kind roam— But I’m burnin’ for the woman who left perfume on the bones. [Verse 3] There was elegance in her murder, grace in every split Femurs cracked with rhythm, pelvises finely slit She didn’t just kill—nah, she composed Like a requiem of splinters, in a vest that barely closed… OHHHHH, OHHHHH! [Bridge] I pressed my face to a half-chewed sternum Smelled her musk and I nearly gone numb A phantom whisper run down my spine: “She don’t bury the dead—she makes ‘em all pine…” [Verse 4] Now the moon’s ridin’ low, and my work is near done But out on the ridgeline, ‘gainst the last slice of sun— There she is—spotted flanks all streaked with grime, Mane like plum smoke, stinkin’ sweet as sin and time… [Chorus] I don’t know her taste, but I’d crawl to her snout She kissed Death’s mouth, then kicked his teeth out She don’t need a lover—she don’t need a prayer— But I’m diggin’ my own grave so she’ll find me waitin’ there. [Outro] Dig me up... Chew me through... Spit me back in the pit Dig me up... Chew me through... Spit me back in the pit Dig me up! (Chew me through!) SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT! Dig me up! (Chew me through!) SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT! Fuckin' dig me up!! (Chew me through!) SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT! Dig me up! (Chew me through!) SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT! Dig me up! (Chew me through!) SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT! Fuckin' dig me up!! (Chew me through!) Fuckin' SPIT ME BACK IN THE PIT!
