(Counting in the dark
In our sleep)
We're counting in the dark in our sleep
You told me graves are shaped like hives of sunbeams
Counting in the dark in our sleep
You told me graves are shaped like hives of sunbeams
And hammers to my head and you're starving yourself
And hammers to my head and you're starving yourself
But little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Even my mamma's got your name in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
We're dancing in the dark in our sleep
Hallelujahs, hide and then seek
We're dancing in the dark in our sleep
Hallelujahs, hide and then seek
Hammer's to our heads and we're starving ourselves
Hammer's to our heads and we're starving ourselves
Little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Even my mamma's got your name in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
And the ghosts in this town, they can't walk the walk
But every kid in this town can talk the talk
The ghost in this town, they are holding their breaths
But the ghosts in my heart, they can't get no rest
No rest, no rest, no rest
No rest, no rest
We're counting in the dark in our sleep
You told me graves are shaped like hives of some bees
Hammer's to my head and you're starving yourself
Hammer's to my head and you're starving yourself
Dancing in the dark in our sleep
Hallelujahs, hiding and seeks
Hammer's to our heads and we're starving ourselves
Hammer's to our heads and we're starving ourselves
Little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Little kids' mamma's have your name in their mouths
Even my mamma's got your name in her mouth
And my mamma's got your eyes in her mouth
My mamma's got her eyes in your mouth
My mamma has her eyes in your mouth
My mamma has got your eyes in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth, in her mouth
In her mouth, in her mouth
And the ghosts in this down, they can't walk the walk
But every kid in this town can talk the talk
The ghosts in this town they are holding their breaths
But the ghosts in my heart they can't get no rest
No rest, no rest
And the ghosts in my heart
They can't get no rest
