lyrics

There is no mercy
Down in that place
alone
with a dead man in the room

The door stays shut
feel the cancer and rust
howl at the wolf moon
with a dead man in the room

I felt her kiss
touch my lips
I felt a little sick
with a dead man in the room

The rustle of sheets
floorboards creak
silence shrieks
with a dead man in the room

(chorus)
She was the wind blew down my house of cards
The wretched winter sleet hitting my soul so hard
The leak in the boat, a moonless night
The thing you want to run from but holds you tight

I can hardly breathe
I can never leave
It won’t ever stop
with the dead man in the room

We are alone together
the ticking of the clock
the faucet and the drop
and the dead man in the room

I'm afraid it is true
There is no future
Just me and you
and the dead man in the room

Come to me darling
Don’t be afraid
Lets laugh and play
with a dead man in the room

(chorus)
