Eastern Cemetery Lyrics

She fell asleep in the grass of blue

Winds rolling through the limestone chiseled out and rough hewn

She was cradled in a backbone

They say the bodies rise up

When the rains flows

She didn't mind

She'd already sank

Into a mausoleum of her own

Her body floated through the hills

Right into his front porch

It's hard to run from a liars curse

When you payed the devil forward

He didn't expect his lovely rose

To pick quite a bone

But he didn't know she'd

Already known he casts his first stone

Now scripture says he who sinned would be first

But when you can't deny yourself the pleasure of holding her Holy Ghost

He'd kept her locked in matrimonial pre-wedded bliss

The pastor tipped his coffee cup and blew them a kiss

Her white lipstick stained lace caught on the street pole

Her body hovered just out of his hold

Will she fall again

Will her catch her then

Her blue eyes glistened fondly

Like her ancient homestead hills

She looked at him with utter confidence to kill

She didn't know why Sammy boy would lie in wait

She did what she had to do, she curled up to vain

Forever she'd wait

Forever she'd wait

The ground slowly curled around

Her body became dust

But she lay there in wait

Hoping he might show up
