lyrics

sex crept into my room like a madman with a head cloud miles thick
and it came in me heavy and quick, and we loved for a bit

loss came into my room like prophet and it gave me a blessing to die
not a hell of a lot by my side, still i love and i loved and i --

i've dug desire a grave, for you i've slaved

light crept into my room like a joker
and the fool went and called me its king
every day is a hell of a thing, still i go listening

to the wild dogs who bark in the graveyard
you would think they were barking at me
and the fool said, how could that be? but i know, yes i know 'cause we

we've dug desire a grave, for you i've slaved

well when the fool went and made a lover, i drank his tea clear
i grew and i danced to the beats to the songs in his ears
now i bark at the days that are dying
and you'd think i've gone dumb like a dog
i can bark at myself in the graveyard as the gravedigger shuffles along

i'll give desire away
come on hand me a spade and i'll dig the fool's grave
for love i've slaved
