[ Featuring the Deep ]
Conscripted by the updraft
The dust, it eddies around our shoes
As we walk our last steps
To the edge of town
To where they will raise us up
Before they put us in the ground
And you'll swing and I'll snap
Down by the border they are singing our praises
Oh and how quickly we'd sold each other out
For just one more night
To hate our f*cking selves
Nose to nose and cheek to cheek
You whispered softly to me
"I don't want to be your disease
And you're dead to me"
Hide all the children's eyes so they won't go blind
Keep the women folk locked inside
You don't want them to see us
As we go marching on by
Or hear the sound of your neck
I'll swing, you'll snap
Down past the border they are singing our praises
I'll swing and you my dear
You'll f*cking snap
Oh, you look so beautiful right now
Just before they put you
In the f*cking ground
Nose to nose and cheek to cheek
You whispered softly to me
"I don't want to be your machine
And your dead to me"
Coming on down
All the way down
There'll be no dead ringers
In the graveyard tonight
Oh, come on baby
Won't you get up and swing
We are the perfect reason
For all this suffering
So hey, hey, hey
Let us f*cking swing
