Keepsake Lyrics by Roymackonkey

The Quality Of Meat

0

Fast as the crow flies
Twice fast again
Once on the life line
Thrice on the neck
Then kiss the cold fire
Wash it in shame
Plow works the furrow
So ends the day
Straight is the forthright tongue of the snake
Who kissed the mistress so kissed the slave
One golden idol for me to save
Oh kiss me kiss me
Wash this away

A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind
A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind

Hallowed high altar on which you've lain
Come place dagger in heart as a keepsake
Man, woman, son, daughter, let's consecrate
Earth upon which hell has been remade

This is the red line
This is the edge
This is the cold fire
Straight to the head
What if the soul dies
Does the body remain
Or does it just sit there
And rot away

A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind
A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind

Hallowed high altar on which you've lain
Come place dagger in heart as a keepsake
Man, woman, son, daughter, let's consecrate
Earth upon which hell has been remade

Still life people paint
Where they believe they should belong
Crusted over darkened eyes
Paint a very different song
You left me there to rot
In the garden of the damned
But welcoming hands
Shall cradle me indefinitely
And then again in death

A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind
A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind
A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind

Hallowed high altar on which you've lain
Come place dagger in heart as a keepsake
Man, woman, son, daughter, let's consecrate
Earth upon which hell has been remade

Fast as the crow flies
Twice fast again
Once on the life line
Thrice on the neck
Then kiss the cold fire
Wash it in shame
Plow works the furrow
So ends the day

A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind
A mind is a terrible, terrible thing to waste
A terrible thing is a mind

Hallowed high altar on which you've lain
Come place dagger in heart as a keepsake
Man, woman, son, daughter, let's consecrate
Earth upon which hell has been remade

So sit there patiently
And tend the flowers at my grave
But don't get on with your life
Because I may be back someday
You gave me all this shit
I didn't eat it just for fun
But please don't think it's nothing
I would not do this for just anyone
