Lyrics

WATCH ME DIE

They tell it so well,
How he held her,
How he kissed her
(How he held her,
How he kissed her)
At the council
Of the elders
In Buena Vista.

That kiss caused
The malady
That crisscrossed
The galaxy;
That kiss
Caused a crisis
On the moon.

That kiss caused
The malady
That crisscrossed
Reality;
That kiss caused Isis
To swoon.

"Your voice is so distant;
Your words are unclear.
Come closer, my husband,
Come sit beside me here."

There is no way out.
The candle’s gone small,
Leaving shadows of doubt
On the far south wall.

"Water my flowers
And watch me die.
(Water my flowers
And watch me die.)
We’ll spend these last hours
Alone, you and I."

That kiss caused
The malady
That crisscrossed
The galaxy;
That kiss
Caused a crisis
On the moon.

That kiss caused
The malady
That crisscrossed
Reality;
Caused my sweet Isis
To swoon.
