REGINA SPEKTOR LYRICS - Lacrimosa

"Lacrimosa"



We keep on burying our dead

We keep on planting their bones in the ground

But they won't grow, the sun doesn't help

The rain doesn't help



If my garden would have a fence

Then the rabbits couldn't just come in

And sit on the grass and eat all the flowers

And shit



Hi, I'm Icarus

I'm falling down

Man for judgement must prepare me

Spare oh god and mercy

Spare



Man I have a terrible feeling

That somethings gone awful wrong with the world

Is it something we made

Is it something we ate

Is it something we drank



Hi I'm Icarus

I'm falling

From the dust of earth

Returning back for judgement

We must prepare

Spare oh god and mercy

Spare me



Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa



They keep on burying our dead

They keep on planting their bones in the ground

But they won't grow

The sun doesn't help

And all we've got isn't a giant crop of names

And dates



Hi I'm Icarus, I'm falling down

On this day of tears and mourning

From the dust of earth returning

Man for judgement must

Spare me, spare oh god and mercy

Spare me



Lacrimosa
