House of the Black Madonna (Opalescent Shades of Excellence Remix) ft. Opalescent Shades of Excellence Lyrics

At the House of the Black Madonna, I cry like I knew I would

At the House of the Black Madonna, I say, it's something I remembered

And it comes to me like a dog, I am standing in a white-washed room

You standing with your back to me, you cleaning your shoes

You sometimes bring home other women

And I have to wait on them

It's now that you betray me

And I don't like that, but I'm not unhappy

At the House of the Black Madonna, my memories sing, let us live

When we give, let us give, while we live, let us live

She looks at the tears in my eyes, I say, it's just an old memory

She says, sometimes I feel the same, that's not to say I let everybody see

Her voice is cold and clean like the nurse's uniform

In the hospital where our baby lay, freshly born, still warm

Tag round its foot

I didn't feel much

I didn't feel a thing then

I haven't again

At the House of the Black Madonna, my memories sing, let us live

When we give, let us give, while we live, let us live

It comes to me like a vision

I finally make my decision

I will wear my little black dress

I will drink myself to death

At the House of the Black Madonna, my memories sing, let us live

When we give, let us give, while we live, let us live

When we give, let us give, while we live, let us live

When we give, let us give, while we live, let us live
