The king of midnight
Is a bitter foe
Wind up his clockwork
You can watch him go
The queen of midnight
Is a chamber maid
Wind up her top
And you can watch her fade
(Away)
You keep a chest of bones
Inside you
Wrapped round a heart
Of solid ice
I rest my weary blood
Beside you
I think the warmth is very nice
So nice
So nice
Herod the father
Said to herod the son
Tie up your shoes
We're going to kill someone
Saint John the Baptist
Said to Saint John the nurse
Johnny my boy
Watch out for
Saint Paul the cursed
You keep a chest of bones
Inside you
Wrapped round a heart
Of solid ice
I rest my weary blood
Beside you
I think the warmth is very nice
So nice
So nice
You keep a chest of bones
Inside you
Wrapped round a heart
Of solid ice
I rest my weary blood
Beside you
I think the warmth is very nice
So nice
So nice
