Gravediggress lyrics - Cocorosie

Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy

Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy

Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy

Old gravediggress by the dried out brook
Whose babble turns to gravel
And my company too
I used to watch the butterflies,
Pretend that its spring
When December can't remember
Not a damn cold thing

Old gravedigger-r by the burnt out tree
Who held the hive a murmur
But no more bees
I used to hear the wind
Made speak and sing the leaves
Seems so long I've felt but a shy and tender breeze

Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy

Old scarecrow wounded at the knee
Lost your button eyes
And most of your stuffing
Hay for a heart
And hay for a brain
If your momma was sweeter then you might be sane

Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy

Far Away lyrics - Cocorosie

Would you go
If they came?
With open arms,
Far away

Maybe
RIP humans
Tears for animals
Animals, animals and nature
Did you ever feel an alien?
Woods
RIP your blood type
Is as delicate as night
Imagine my father
Did feel, feel, feel, feel me
I was RIP
RIP

Would you go
If they came?
Open arms,
Far away

Would you go
If they came?
Open arms,
Far away

My love letters...

My father did me nature
Nature, nature, nature
I was one year past three
Maybe nature

Roots Of My Hair lyrics - Cocorosie

Wet is my whistle
Wandering wayward
Trouser is caught in a thorny bramble
Sun soon be slipping
Down spine of the meadow
Swamp candle flower
A watery fellow
The monarch's my right hand
Left is the sparrow
Twilight blue my bone and marrow
The river's path is old and narrow
First evening star
To comfort the scarecrow

Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere

Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses

Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere...

Marveling over dead branches
Marveling over dead branches
Into the rosy atmosphere
Into the rosy atmosphere

Villain lyrics - Cocorosie

Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather

My sister, she used goat's blood
To conceal her ravaged body
But, I was gifted with my uncle Freddy's baby
Froze in time
I could hide
Bloated belly, baby inside

Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
[x2]

What happened to my life
All this ain't right
I should have taken it myself
With uncle Freddy's knife
Cause the grave is very suiting
For a bloodless daughter bride

Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
[x4]

Poison lyrics - Cocorosie

Voodoo spell
Ocean morgue
Like a whale
Swallows you whole
Dentless
Merciless
Dentless

Merciless dictator
She sleighs the necks of giraffes
Merciless dictator
She sleeps on pillows made of zebra skin
Oh, squakin', talkin' blasted pigeon
Parrot Portuguese
Black icky tongue
And the purple clouds,
Dry, like painted
Desert flowers

Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are

Dry, like painted
Desert flowers

Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are

Watch out for the snakes
(Poison, her tears are poison)
Watch out for the velvet cross
(Her tears are poison)
Watch out for the panthers
(Her tears are)
Leaping from her spit, oh
[x2]

Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison

Devil's Island lyrics - Cocorosie

Who wants to get their head chopped off on Devil's Island?!
Who wants to lie down on the softest bed in the universe and die!?!
Who wants to be a beer and make someone drunk?!

Oh lord
Please tell me
I only have eyes
For you
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too

Who wants to be a crystal and get found some day?!
Who wants to get their head chopped off on Devil's Island?!
Who wants to lay down on the softest bed in the universe and die?!

This is the end of time

Trinity's Crying lyrics - Cocorosie

I love you
I cried on your mother's shoulder
Like a broken hearted soldier
She knew and I knew
What all the tears were for
Weary exhausted flames of light
Trinity's crying
Trinity's crying

Smokey Taboo lyrics - Cocorosie

They call her smokey taboo
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street

Somedays you're like an anchor on my heart
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
But not the dark

Hopscotch lyrics - Cocorosie

"I got a hopscotch tear drop ready to drop"
If the sun decides to rise
Without its colors in your eyes
It matters not a heart of mine
Prefers the darkness
A hopscotch tear drop ready to drop

Undertaker lyrics - Cocorosie

u ne la nv i u me tsi
i go ga gv he i
hna quo tso sv wi yu lo se
i ga gu yv ho nv

Under what spell the guiding light
Betook the undertaker
Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
Characters of flaming eyes
Eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlet
The singing sinew
The whining ghost
Brutal wind of snowy harlot
Chafing mine eyes
A sandpaper kiss
Bloody rosen my cheek
Purple kiss of stardust
Pink balloon of time
Candied on the inside
Baby pit bull butterfly
Do da do da do dah do dah

Grey Oceans lyrics - Cocorosie

In heaven warm souls flutter
They flutter by with rosaries
Dangling from their necks
German shepherds guide by nightfall
Little kinder
Little kinder dressed in starlight
Inside I feel like
Like I'm crying besides a tree
I'm watching myself like an old TV
I'm watching myself like an old movie on color TV
When people whisper in Portuguese
Its just as mysterious
And the stubble on his face
It hurt me when
When we fell onto each other's faces
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
Windows brighten up the room
And one could cast a smooth worn lover's stone
Worn smooth from days of fertile deliberation

R.I.P. Burn Face lyrics - Cocorosie

In her mourning
In her grave
Don't you miss the way
That she brushed her heavy hair
Oh la la la la la

ACID BURNED FACE CLOWNY TEAR SMILE
She's the one who made you wild
She made you question all your answers
Made you beg for her forgiveness

BABY GIRL don't cry
Momma's gonna buy you a glass eye
And it will glimmer like starlight

She's got no reservations
Ain't got no place to be
The graveyard's in the backyard
Where the meadows used to be

Lord knows my destination
Lord hears my inner prayer
Mom'll find me by the river
Sunken with her party balloons

Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea

Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea

Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea

The Moon Asked The Crow lyrics - Cocorosie

I caught a glimpse out the window
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tearz
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes

The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know

Angel brother I miss your hair
Careless nature gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twinsis
Sung to you a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids and evil pirates

You watched the sky
With kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right
To the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden
Why do you linger so
Like a silky snail soul
The moon asked the crow

For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know

Lemonade lyrics - Cocorosie

It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever corner
Calling out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Tim and Tina were my parents' names
They got engaged
They were inflamed
Seduced by the light of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those butterflies

We seven kids
We almost died
Nearly put to death
By lightening strikes
Instead there was hot, pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
In search of magic powers
To heal our mother's pain
