A Dark Day Of Backward Steps

i killed my baby good, she never understood
blood-spattered tambourine, kept beat all through her sleep
and you told me a dirty secret, went right through
inked me out a map, but it soaked in
the only sound i heard was death, ricocheting off the moon
saying 'come on and join us'
and it's so far
for love gone dark
which way goes the sin
follow the loose ends
maybe i was too hard, couldn't keep my heart ajar
i killed my baby good, she never understood
you tried to talk me out, thought i might calm it down
and you tried to shoot me up, but it went right through
spoons on a hollow hill and they broke in
the only thing i feel is life and the will to leave it soon
saying 'it's easy, just join us'
when i go too far
can you mow the lawn
with your violins
you can come right in
i killed my baby good, she never understood
blood-spattered tambourine, kept beat all through her sleep
and you told me a dirty secret, went right through
couldn't help but believe in the mystery stew
the only thing that i love is gone, lost in the other room
join us
and it's so far
for love gone dark
which way goes the sin
follow the loose ends
