A sheep has left the fold Hoofbeats go a trotting, trotting Up to Heaven bold At the gates a knocking, knocking Sheep in wolfish clothes Holy jaws are dropping Up in Heaven's fold Plant my hooves, my hooks, my books
Once upon a time Heaven was a tower, tower Tethered in its pride Cast us grapes as sour, sour Thought the ink was dried But Hellish gardens flowered Ivy to be climbed Spread my filth, my wings, my weeds, my weeds
My fairest wheels are turning
Hark! The angels wailed Bedtime is a-burning, burning We've got grace for sale How the worm is turning, turning Lay you down to sleep With wicked little stories Count your missing sheep Shed my skin, my fleece, my sin, my worms
They burrow up the line
Serpents in the branches Branching up those crooked vines Vultures of a feather hatching Circus lullabies Carousels a-ramping Up to heaven I raise my Hell, my cane, my stakes, my snakes
Tongues, tongues Slither in the mud That's how a carnival grows, my son Tongues, tongues Slither in the psalms That's how a carnival grows
All these fickle beasts Heaven hath rejected Lapping glory from our teats Each of them is tested, bless'ed
Cast down for your sin Come here for redemption We've got grace for cheap We've got grace for cheap Lest you end up bested Lost and torn to shreds Dissected
Tongues, tongues Slither in the mud Slither in the mud Slither in the mud That's how a carnival grows, my son That's how a carnival grows
Tongues, tongues Slither in the psalms Slither in the psalms Slither in the psalms That's how a carnival grows, my son That's how a carnival grows
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Cross your heart and hope to die It's off to Hell we go
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Stick a needle in your eye It's off to Hell we go
(Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Cross your heart and hope to die It's off to Hell we go
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Stick a needle in your eye It's off to Hell we go
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Cross your heart and hope to die It's off to Hell we go
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Stick a needle in your eye It's off to Hell we go
Fa la la It's off to Hell we go Cross your heart and hope to die It's off to Hell--Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
