The Morgue Lyrics by Adam Newling
I remember when I quit
Working hospitals, how they took me down
To the morgue and said, “This lady here
Well, she needs some clothes, can you put them on?
‘Cause time’s got a hold of her
And her body’s stopped moving all her blood
From her heart to her warm red lips”
Lips he once called his
Said he’d meet ya here, he never showed
And she’d been dying, just dying to meet him in the morgue
(Two, three, four, one)
Home now, it’s better with the lights on
Home now, you always said you’ll meet me here
Home now, looks better with the lights on
I’m home now, is anybody listening?
I remember when I quit
Moving all the parts ’round that big red shop
‘Cause peace never seemed to fit
And my wrist don’t work, I no longer ride
But ship, you’re leaving this
I was warm right here
It’s the unholy things I thought you made me think
Like I wanna squash yours, now I just can’t know for sure
Now I’ve been dying, just dying to meet you in the morgue
(Two, three, four, one)
Home now, it’s better with the lights on
Home now, you always said you’ll meet me here
Home now, looks better with the lights on
Home now, is anybody listening?
Home now, it’s better with the lights on
I’m home now, is anybody meeting me here?
Home now, it’s better with the lights on
Home now, you’re never fucking listening
Home now
I’m home now
