"Bury Me" lyrics - SKYCLAD

You came, you saw, you conquered as a woman of your word
So to say farewell like Judas is a thing I find absurd
You shook my world, you sucked me in then spat me out in bubbles
The effects of your affections stay the 'cause of all my troubles

The only thing you never did
Was to have the decency
To kiss this corpse and nail the lid
Come on, come on and bury me!

I placed you on the pedestal, you tossed me in the gutter
It seems your lies were like those thighs, spread easier than butter
I'm first to go, so last to know how fickle is your passion
Now my bones hang in your closet though my face is out of fashion

As vultures circle round my head
Far as the eye can see
I walk this world, the living dead
High time, high time to bury me!

(Bury me, bury me, come on and bury me...)
You laid me to death, now lay me to rest
A sticky-sweet nothing to get off your chest
It's all pillow-talk at the end of the day
The cat's got your tongue with so much left to say

I'm not the only knave you've fooled behind the mask you wore
My beguiling, smiling virgin hides the cunning of a whore
'Cause your ego needs an offering, 'tis I the coffin fits
So I martyred like St. Edmund with your name upon my lips

"Oh do it hurt?" - "Oh does it not!"
I died with each degree
Just one small detail overlooked
The need to, the need to bury me!

I am the shade of something
You remembered to forget
Stood like Banquo by your bedside
You just haven't seen me yet
Every notch upon the headboard
Each twist in your string of lovers
Is a tear shed on your pillow
Fate serves you as you serve others!

You swore to always stay my friend
Why, even this can't be
Kept your back turned until the end
Whilst I begged, whilst I begged: "Bury me!"
